Gamma - Incredibly slow forums

[rake]

I'd like to nominate my own forums.

The link to the site is: http://www.ffdiscovery.com
The forums are located at http://forums.ffdiscovery.com

All the custom features...

[rake]

It's unlikely that a forum would require that many usergroups... There's probaly a way around what he wants to do.....

[rake]

A reply from the vbulletin devs might be nice. Especially since it's not an isolated problem. The thread i posted a link to proves i'm not the only one having trouble with that.

[rake]

A similar thread has been posted a while ago, yet now lies in the pre-beta forum, even though the problem has not been fixed. My forums are incredibly slow since i have upgraded to vB3. I first thought...

[rake]

It has been taken out in vbulletin 3. But there is a hack for vb2 on vbulletin.org which will remove it.

[rake]

But you were wrong. pmpopup=0 will set it to OFF.

[rake]

vBulletin 3 shows your pm status on every page, in the navbar. It's a lot easier to notice.

If you want to turn it on for every user, you will have to run a query:

UPDATE...

[rake]

You can find hacks which do this at vbulletin.org. Try searching the Hack Database.

[rake]

vb2 has the admin directory hardcoded in. You need to open each file in the admin dir and change references from admin/ to your new path.

[rake]

I'm not sure what you mean by that, Neil. Do you mean the thread view options in the "edit options" page of the usercp?

Well, whatever you're searching for, edit your vbulletin...

[rake]

you can't exactly "get new templates". If you don't like the colors, well... modify them. You can get template modifications at vbtemplates.com
You can alternatively purchase styles....

[rake]

Yep. I figured that out right after posting. But the post$post[postid] still stands, i believe.

[rake]

Yet another one. correct me if i'm wrong, but shouldn't

showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]postcount=$post[postcount]&postid=$post[postid]#$post[postid]

be
...

[rake]

echo out $GLOBALS['php_errormsg'] and you'll see that php is screaming about that.

[rake]

Countless cp hacks that restrict priviledges have been done. For vbulletin 2, of course.

[rake]

To have it show on the forum index, you must add this code to index.php:

eval("\$test = \"".gettemplate('test')."\";");

[rake]

pconnect stands for persistent connection and it refers to the way php connects to mysql.

[rake]

And how many users usually set that up?
