Here's some tips for you guys... Under UserCP -> Edit Options you can find some thing to set some thresholds for your account. Default Thread Age Cut Off - Set this to something reasonable (mine is set to "Show threads from last week" for example). When viewing a forum, it will limit the threads being shown to whatever timeframe you want. This will actually make the forum load faster for you because it only needs to deal with recent threads. If there are 50 threads with posts in the last week vs. 5,000 since the beginning of time for that forum it will be a noticeable speed increase by letting it ignore the 4,950 old ones for the purpose of building the thread list. This will NOT affect your ability to search for old threads. Number of Posts to Show Per Page - Set this to whatever you like. If you find yourself reading through many pages of the same thread, increase this value. Number of Threads to Show Per Page - Self explanatory, but useful none-the-less.
