I've been looking through the asp code and have spotted a few places that could be changed to reduce the size of the code. This could also help make the maintanance of the code easier.

Perhaps some of these could be incorporated into v4.

pop_profile.asp

Remove all
" & strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS.
from the file.

pop_config_help.asp

Instead of having lot of table cells:
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" Table Name Prefix is used if you have multiple versions of the forum running in the same database. This way you can name the tables differently and still use one user to connect. (eg. FORUM_ and FORUM2_)</font>" & vbNewLine & _
" <a href=""#top"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconGoUp,"Go To Top Of Page","align=""right""") & "</a></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _

could be converted into a function

OutputaCell("Table Name Prefix is used if you have multiple versions of the forum running in the same database. This way you can name the tables differently and still use one user to connect. (eg. FORUM_ and FORUM2_)")

Sub OutputaCell(pstrText)
Response.Write " <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" " & pstrText & "</font>" & vbNewLine & _
" <a href=""#top"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconGoUp,"Go To Top Of Page","align=""right""") & "</a></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
End Sub

inc_create_forum_*.asp

All the SetConfigValue code and the "INSERT" code is the virtually the same in all 3 files.
This could be moved into one file.

There are alot of places this can be done. Another example is admin_config_colors.asp

I already have some code readied for v4, including this one...

I also did a performance comparison test to compare straight code vs use of subs/functions w/wo parameters to justify their use in some places and to understand where they should be avoided.
Stop the WAR!
