Once again, this version is a huge update. Performance-wise we reduce almost 80-90% database load on homepage, and we also speed up message extraction. Customizable forum paging is ideal for those who have extremely busy forums and want to tweak paging methods for optimal performance.

Integrated FAQ system with our new Full-text search function makes our forum software even friendlier for support purposes. Admin' s or moderators can mark a thread as a FAQ, and members will be able to see a list of FAQ' s inside the forum or search the content of the FAQ' s with SQL Server' s fastest Full-Text Indexing search.

Setting up full-text indexing with ASPPlayground.NET is super easy. This is another one-click set up that does everything for you without you having to go deep into EM to figure out what options you will need. A maintenance tool is also built-in for index update.

Mass message pruning and locking not only does what it says but also provides you an HTML progress bar to keep you updated with information while you wait. It also fine tune your forum performance right after these ultra stressful tasks are done on your server. If you are looking to archive or remove unneeded messages this feature will be the most powerful you can find.

Some of you are running extremely busy forums and in this version we provide you a functionality to shrink your entire database (not just log) and your data file. With this feature you can recover almost 50 - 60% wasted SQL Server space and as a consequences improve your forum performance.

We have also gone deep into the system to refine several programming logics on user features to speed up page serving and avoid any potential problems (registration confirmation, member list, e-mail change, report abuse, etc.).

This version can be downloaded by our registered members by going to http://www.aspplayground.net/memberdl

We are going to raise the price of the software very soon and if you are ready to get your hands on the best ASP/SQL forums available, it is time to do so.

Again, thank you for your time!

PERFECT as always!
