David -
I had a thought - when you reply to a forum question using the quick reply box at the bottom of the page, you then get a page telling you that your reply has been posted.
Then the page cuts back to the original page, with your new posting at the bottom.
It seems unnecessary, as you get thrown back to the page anyway, with your post at the bottom. Is there a way of cutting out that middle step?
That would also speed things up a little.
Not knowing a thing about web design and the mechanics of the forum system I've no idea of this is possible.
