Well, I just used the PC software version of the WebTV software and didn't have any problem getting into the message board. Of course, I am on a LAN with the server the msgboard now runs on, so if it's a bandwidth issue, I can't test that. However, I have been using the site each day from a remote location and I haven't experienced problems getting in or it being extrodinarialy slow.

Is there anyone else that is having the problem exgm has described? Does the msgboard seem slower, or faster, now that it's been moved to it's own server?

Well, I know it's fast. As far as the server being able to run the CGI's and stuff. It whips them out since that's all it's doing is running the board, classifieds, and rides. However, bandwidth could be an issue at peak times since it has a limit sized pipe to it. But, if needed, I can up make a call and double the bandwidth to it probably.
