This is a follow through of creating a forum...
In general your Forum will be large to many newer poeple to proboards, just depending on your situation at least. Well First off you are gonna need to know how to organize your forum, creating sub-boards is probably the best. A sub-board is a board in side a board, that can be repeated. By creating a sub-board your forum will shrink down, hence faster loading time.
Every forum has its flaws and don't let yours be slow loading. To avoid this use sub-boards, it's why they were created. A good board would be a catagory such as general, if you made a board called genral you would be able to add sub-boards to general to create faster loading time, its a great way to speed up your forum, even for DSL or High-Speed users.
A warning to sub-boards:
If you make many sub-boards under one board you will get even slower time than before, so again just because theres sub-boards doesnt mean it wont slow down your forum, instead of the front page being slow your board freezes, just like overloaded PMs.So remember use Sub-Boards wisley.
