i see a definite improvement in speed and I appreciate Tim's hard midnight oil
eforts BUT how bout checking this out ... here's better way and look:

http://www.amdzone.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=AMD&number=1&DaysPrune=&LastLogin=

This interface is much better ... done with "Ultimate Bulletin Board"

Here is one big advantage that I see, go back 20 days in CCC and see how many
pages u gotta dig up to get so concise and neat as UBB. That url I initially
gave everyone is 20 days of posts! U can adjust it for last day - 1 year.
Everyone could set it the way they wanted it.

THEN when u do click a subject you get ALL for your viewing pleasure, saves
lotta time here too.

It is $82 to lease for 1 year OR $170 to buy it:

Here are some things to look at b4 purchasing it though:

Before You Order...

Make sure you understand the following:

You need to have Perl 5 installed on your web server in order to use the UBB.
See all system requirements on the Features page.

You should try installing the freeware version prior to purchasing a license, to
ensure that the UBB can be installed on your server. Refunds are not given for
failure to install, so be sure to install the freeware version first!

Support is available for you via the UBB Discussion Forum and through email, but
there is no phone support.

You must abide by the license agreement. Please read it prior to ordering.
There are no license refunds, with the following exception: if you order a
license AND professional installation and we discover that we cannot install the
UBB on your server for some reason, we will refund all fees.


And here's the bottom line! To show how much I believe in it and how it will
greatly improve CCC discussions l pay for the first year lease. All Steve has to
do is approve it. Most important as noted above would be to try out the FREEWARE
ver first, If it works great, If not then we don't lose nothing

here is where to dl the freeware ver and then u can test it out on your web
server:
