Forum Performance Poll

[Xenophon]

Indeed. It's easy to pick on an obvious symptom and treat that, while leaving the underlying condition to fester.

Conversely, treating the underlying condition may cause the obvious symptom to resolve itself.

Thanks, Doctor.

People may still be viewing the old TPD.

Not just people

Somewhere in TPD within the past year I posted about a number of simple things that could be done to speed the forum up and reduce the amount of bandwidth required to serve it. Now that I've got a copy of vBulletin I find that some of the most obvious are options in the Admin Control Panel, and are described in the vBulletin forum stickies, meaning they are trivial to apply.

None of them appear to have been done.

A scathing review there by Doctor Fitz.

I reckon it's his post count causing memory problems. Set it to Zero and see what happens

Or just let LR posts count, just in case that impacts the performance. I bet it does, as the display would have to do two counts - total and then LR and subtract the two.

Worth a punt.

Never had a problem...

Maybe I was thinking of the stuff RC dredged up

So: Better 4, Worse 8, No change 13.

See how subjective these things are?

Not really; can I seek some other opinions?

I've just opened five threads in separate tabs and they all timed out.

Same in IE.

Was it five copies of TPD?

Thought not

Was that the outage I logged?
