I just tucked this server behind a different firewall - and in front of that, have tuned and set in place an acceleration server (which is new to this site/server).
For all that - you should notice a much improved speed difference in reading threads and posting new threads - especially for those that contain imbedded graphics and pics....
Enjoy..!
