[Forum] posting replies and such

[ampersand]

When posting replies etc on the forum the page starts to load very long after I hit submit. It loads like up to 30 minutes and more and never finishes. When I abort and go back look at the thread I have usually 2 duplicate replies ..


so whats wrong, have you had any other users post this problem too or is it only me ?

all members have same problem or only u?

I have it very often, but I've seen topics made by members about the issue. I dont think everyone got it. At least I hope not

After looking through my own bug report forum I see that there is a big part of the members having this problem. Also moderators have those problems when performing tasks

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I did that now, but still incredibly slow.
Can this be causing it
Server Load Averages 17.55 14.89 13.11 | 432 Users Online (95 members and 337 guests)

Is my server to small and slow ?

Dell PowerEdge rackmount server
Single Xeon X3363, quad core, 2.83 GHz/core, 2x6 MB cache
2x160 GB SATA 7200 rpm drives
4 GB of ECC DDR memory

- 2000 GB of monthly transfer on 100 Mbps port on BGP network
- 50 GB of backup space, 6 hours backup interval

Those are pretty (very!) high loads. You may want to post in the Server Configuration forum for advise on optimizing your server.
