I know this came up a few weeks ago, but was it ever resolved? The page load times seem to be getting slower and slower.
I can't imagine that you need a super high horsepower server or connection to run this site... Just playing armchair system admininstrator from the sidelines it seems some database tuning may be needed. I'd be happy to contribute to a fund for a faster server or some DB consultants time or... ? -Steve |

I've actually thought about this for a long time, and here's my educated guess:
It takes a long time for the BBS to calculate how many pages belong in a thread. That "Member 914 Pictures" thread now has about 80 pages. It has about 1600 replies and my guess is that everytime you load that forum or redisplay that page it's going to go and calculate how many pages it will take you to view all 1600 of them. On other BBS's they kill threads (make it so you can't post to them) and start a new one after they are so many pages long, and I'm guessing it's for this very reason. I've done a lot of work with database reporting and one of the biggest performance killers for a report is displaying "Page X of Y" in the footer, since it has retrieve all the records for the report and calculate how many pages long the report will be. Is there an option so that the number of pages in a thread are not displayed? Maybe move that thread to it's own section, or create a whole new section for member pictures?
