In the collab module when a user is browsing the list of public conversations the UI should paginate the results and only display the first XX records. Last time I queried there were about 350 public conversations. If this list grows much more then anyone who clicks the Browse button in the Find Conversations window is going to be waiting a while. Also add a property in the Collaboration properties (Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Collab) that allows you to set the number of records the Browse Conversations should return at a time - default set to 50. Currently to load about 350 conversations into the list takes about 45-50 seconds from broadband connection on east coast of USA (in New York state). - understand there are server load and network latency considerations that vary the load time, but 40-50 seconds is a long time to wait to browse a simple list of data. Other than this issue I absolutely love the Collab tools in NB. Cheers to the NB team and contributors for providing it!!
Reassigning to issues@collab. Collab Support plugin is not actively maintained. Obsoleted in 6.7 by the newly introduced integration with Project Kenai, a collaborative environment for developers to host their open-source projects, which includes also a chat service.
