I'm still working on 5.0, which is being converted over for template/language file/control panel setup. Right now I am pushing 16 hour days to get a project done by this coming Monday. Today I cut it short to 14 hours and had enough motivation to turn the computer on when I got home. LoL
I know that your forums are huge, with 300,000 postings if I recall correctly. A site such as that will be best served by 5.0 do to the caching abilities it will offer with the information being displayed. As it stands, there are at least 4 pal boxes that will query your them 300,000 posts and this will take time. I'm going to put together an archive system that will move older posts out of the w3t_Posts table into an archive table to help speed things up also. The index page drawing from 20,000 most recent posts will be much more quicker than drawing from all 300,000 of them.
Once Monday comes and goes I'll be able to breath easier and will have some time to spend on IIP 5.0
