Forum Running Slow, But Rest of Server Fast?

[Xride]

Well for some reason since I upgraded to vb3 rc1 it seems like pages never fully load.
the top will load then it will stop loading and say its done.
sometimes it will load all but the bottom, and then stop.

seems like it takes 4 refreashes to load the full page most of the time.

But the rest of the server is still blazing fast still.
I've tried and tried, but just dont understand why it would be like that, and cant find any hardware reason.

Just everything but the forum is fast....????

I am not sure if this will do any good but try deleting your cache.
Also, ask if other people have the same problem.

I tried removing cookies, didnt seem to make a difference? I've also gotten this from many of my users as well.
and just as many say it just take VERY long for forum pages to load.

But everything else is fast, for me and for the other users.

The actual site seemed slower than the forum for me.

My website is getting the same as your problem.

You have RC1 as well?
Maybe its just RC1?
beta 7 ran great, so did 2.x.x when they were on.

I'm going to install RC3 today and see if that helps.

I just thought of somthing, are you caching your posts in the database? if so for how long?

I have NO idea?
how do I check? and what should it be?

stuff like that should be cashed remotly shouldnt they?

Its a setting under Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options > Cached Posts Lifespan

Try changing this to either 1-2 days and see if this helps any

It was set to 0, and I changed it to 2

still slow, and seems to be even slower now?

[Zachery]

What that should have done is cached the post to help reduce querys and speed up load times.

the only thing i can possibly think of now is your server is miss tuned or had a bad upgrade of software..

[Xride]

well I jsut upgraded to the RC3 instead of gamma,
still slow....??

and still cant get my emails to work, the test will send one, no errors, but no notification, no anything else.
