As for performance rating, I didn't sense much of a change at all. I like some of the new features such as remembering column widths but there are a couple of things that I really missed in this new version: 1. As admin, you can no longer see the download activity when going to the server monitor window. 2. In the "View Message" panel, you can no longer see the broadcast message in the column to the right of the "recieved" column. Any hopes in getting these to options back? Had these been in, I'd give 4 stars for a little improvement over 2.4.0.
