Jackson: 1) I've noticed no appreciable slowness. If anything, forum and thread loads are nominally equivalent. Maybe not faster, but at least it doesn't take five minutes to view a thread on one forum while two seconds on another. 3) Get used to it? I think that the avatars provide a good mnemonic for remembering users. With tens of thousands of users, names sometimes get tough to keep track of. 4) Your browser? If I hit Ctrl and rotate the scrollwheel, the font size changes - and very quickly. This feature is not part of any forum or website, it is a browser/OS/mouse feature. Start by looking there. No problem with email responses. I receive an email for every new post in a thread that I started/responded within. I think that order of replies should be up to the user (as can be done in other forum softwares). I like them in chronological order from first to last. :tongue2:

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
