	Hi, I am just after some information/help on WWF. I have the latest version installed on a PowerEdge 4400, with Dual 866s and 1GB ram. At the moment, thats all this server is doing, hosting WWF and acting as a management console for other software. Over the lan the performance is normal, over dialup though its only just bearable. The forum is has 124 posts, 110 threads, 24 forums (Access Version). Is there something I can try and do to get better performance over Dial Up? The IIS install is standard 2003 install, with ASP enabled.

	If you mean, how can you cut the amount of bandwidth it uses so the pages download faster you can do things like. Cut down on the number of forums you have (24 makes your main page quite large) Cut down the number of topics and posts per page Disable Avatars Try and make the image size smaller, maybe a different skin would have smaller image file sizes Most of these things can be done through the admin section. If you wish to increase the overall performance of the forum, you should consider using the MS SQL Server version, as Access being a flat file system isn't really capable of handling more resource extensive applications like Bulletin Board Systems, especially if your forum gets popular.
