This is not a bug but is a bit of an issue, eventhough I thing nothing can be made about this I wanted to point this out :

Comparing my slimmed-down FUDforum with other phpBB based forums, I noticed that eventhough FUDforum may be faster "behind the scenes", the pages it produces are actually quite big. By looking at the generated source, I noticed that a major part of the thread pages "weight" comes from the buttons which link to coded URL like this one for example :

Multiply this long string by the numbers of action-buttons per post times number of posts per page and you get a lot more bytes used for these links that for actual text. The result are 50-150kb pages which take quite a long time to load on RTC connections.

I wouldn't point this out if I didn't noticed that phpBB does NOT use this kind of lengthy coding for links. Surely there is a deep-going technical reason for this difference, but couldn't something be done in a future FUDforum iteration ?
