that's what i was afraid of. i guess i'll put it to a vote on my board.
do you want:
1. a faster board with these features: xxx, xxx, xxx and lose who's online, last post by, etc...
or,
2. the same board but with added features: pm notify, calendar, memberlist, etc.
wait a sec: will the board even get faster from the user's end?
i guess, i'm leaning toward not going to 6.1.0 yet and waiting till it gets the bugs worked out and some of our key hacks (who's online at least) are re-worked.
