Never slow for me.

Could well be your routing or contention issues.

Oh one thing I spotted while on the Links bit; If you click on "Home", it's supposed to take you to http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/vbindex.php but that link comes up with an HTTP Error 404: File Not Found.

I guess it may be slower for you as it'll be adding in Google adverts as your not a paid up member. This will add some, although I'd suspect minimal, time to the page generation and loading (as they'll be more of it).

Your ISP may also have a poor transatlantic link too.

Don't non-paid up members still get the random advert in the thread?

Mig isn't hosted in the UK, its in the US.

New for sale threads don't show under the 'New Posts' bit! Is it going to stay that way?

I live off that button!

I like the classified's only thing I would change is the breadcrumbs.

Like when you are viewing a post on the forum you get:



But when you are viewing the classifieds or reviews you get:



When you click Home, it takes you to the classfieds or reviews home page - it would be nice if it was like:


OR


So when you click migweb it takes you too the forum index, but allows you to click classfieds if you want to go to the classfieds home page. Just I feel it would make it more integrated and slightly more easy to navigate.

Also as you have already mentioned, will be nice when the current forum "for sale" section is a redirect to the classfieds, again I think it will make for easier navigation

Think it has also been mentioned - but could the "Contact Seller" be like the drop down that you get when you click on a posters name, so you can PM them instead of sending an email - or somewhere to PM them direct from the advert??

Apart from that all change is good change and I like it so far

Also, when i click User CP of the main page, it tells me i have a 'New private message' which was sent, read, and replied to an hour or so ago, even after a hard refresh / empty cookies etc, still does it
