Skeever,
Thanks for you help, I just uploaded the ASP files. and all is working well. It seems that the forum is faster now, has that been your experience or is just in my head?

Poeple shouldn't wonder if they shopuld upgrade, it's a cse of you should always be running the latest version if you don't want your forum to be secure as new releases usually follow after security fixes.
If you want your forum to be secure from hackers you should always upgrade to the latest version!!

I agree with borg!!!!!
Maybe everyone should think about makeing the mod's standalone.
Meaning they could be droped right in to the new wwf with little changes. This will not work for every mod but most mod's should be
independent from wwf. Should maybe only rely on common.asp the language files. However Im still running wwf 7.1 untill I finnish some mod's on my portal, then I plan to upgrade to 7.7a
No matter what I tihnk the new wwf 7.7 is alot faster!!!!!!
great work borg.

Will we need to wait until mySQL 4.1 is released for the forum? I
started trying to modify ver 7.6 to use mySQL but the lack of support
for sub queries in mySQL 4.0 stalled that effort.

I think it will have to wait till a decent myODBC driver is released that fully supports ADO and recordset paging.

Why?
Ideally, for paging you want to use the most effcient manner. For MSSQL, that would be allowing the database to handle paging via a stored procedures.
Otherwise, that would be disconnected recordsets and arrays.
Currently, you are using ADO recordset paging and ADO recordset paging is not the most efficient manner of paging. It would be far better to use arrays to disconnect the recordset and "page" through the arrays. This method is ADO independent and would work for all databases.
Futhermore, using this method and some clever programming, you could utitilize MSSQL stored procedures for paging without re-writing the paging code for other databases AND make the forum that much more efficient with SQL Server.
