1 - server load for the same forum on the same server under the same # of concurrent users would be significantly less for threads. That said, the search in .classic 6.3 is much improved - it's not lightning-fast, but complaints about the search should be a thing of the past now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

2 - all things equal, bandwith will be less for threads if compression is enabled, significantly less.

3 - all known security bugs appear to be squashed for threads. The "firewall hack" is for those who are trying to run their forums from behind their firewall from home on their dsl/cable line - probably against their ISP's TOS to start, and on an OS that really isn't a server OS to boot.

4 - there is still a few spots that need to be moved to the language files.

About the templates I posted above, they'll be improved once threads is final, as some of the changes will need to be made in the .php files to make them perfectly duplicates <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
