Boy, I certainly hope I didn't offend anyone w/ my original post! On re-reading it, I somehow edited out several statements I originally had there - one of which began with "I'm sure you guys are all over this.. ".. please don't think I believed I was bringing earth shattering information to you...I was just curious as to your position on the product, given that it appeared to offer enhancements our community seeks. I hadn't seen this "Threads" product until recently, and just wondered if you had played w/ it. Apparently you have. I thought perhaps some of the load-distribution characteristics of SQL would help the speed issue.. curious that it doesn't. Of course, that would suggest multiple available servers to share the load amongst.. We used SQL in our last venture, and were very pleased w/ the load management - but we did have at least pieces of 3 or 4 servers to spread the sessions out over.

I guess you guys are also on top of UBBDev.Com ? Looks like there are some hacks in the works for the timezone issue - but looks also like they're being coded for 6.x - not the 5.x version. One of the hacks I really did like was the "Who's online" feature... but I totally understand your resistance to hacks.

Anyway - thanks for your response and I hope you don't resent a butinski
