Hi DaBuzz,

thanks for the reply.
Well hell, I bought a years lease on vb 1.1.5

Maybe I shoulda gone with the 2.0 beta?? I'm new at this, and have a sizeable community that was formally using yahoo clubs after we migrated there from an ezine that sold out to a place with crappy interaction software...it's a long story! But yahoo sucked on the wazoo, it was slow, kept bugging out, and one could only get one post at a time, yadda yadda yadda.

I love this vB software. I had stumbled on to a place that reviewed software, and this got a great recommendation, so I checked it out. Will love it even more, if we can solve the post size problem.

We want to keep the threads loading reasonably fast for the slow modem users, and there's a couple that are plastering copy and pasted verbiage, some are too long winded, and some joker found their way in there, and posted about a megabyte worth of "**** YOU" repeated over and over...I want to keep the place relatively open, and don't want to have email verification, ban people when they act up, and have the mods be over worked trying to keep up with onslaughts.

anyway, If any of the resident genuises have hack solution, please let me know!

Thanks,
Mong
