It GZIPs everything but the Javascript for me. http://www.globexdesigns.com/forums

It appears that IPB doesn't GZIP the JavaScript files. Is this something I can activate in the settings, or does this need to be added to the feature requests?

Here's PageSpeed's output:

    * Compressing /forums/public/min/index.php?g=js could save ~106.3kB.

    * Compressing index.php?charset=iso-8859-1&f=public/js/ipb.j... could save ~42.1kB.

If you're looking to do live testing, ie, as new things happen on 2.3, they are reflected on 3.0, then that's not possible.

I currently have IPB 2.3 forum on a live site, and I was wondering if it would be possible to have another forum (version 3.0.1) use the database from the IPB 2.3 forum. Essentially so I have a mirror of my live forum running on a 3.0.1 forum which I can use for testing things.
