Joe Offer, I use webtv to access The Mudcat, and I really enjoy the Page feature as it is.On threads that I have been following it is only a matter of seconds to load the first page and then click on the page I want to go to.

On threads that I haven't read yet, the first page loads quickly and then I can continue on to subsequent pages.I have not had a problem with overly long download times or an inability to load an entire thread until the number of posts begin to approach 400. I experimented with the "Killing The Thread" and bogged down at 383.

I have noticed,that with the new feature, the threads seem to longer before dropping off and there also seem to be more posts to new threads in a very short period of time. Whether this is due to the page building feature or not I don't know.

I have a 56k dial up modem in my receiver.
