Server Load Go's Sky High?

[MillerLight]

I have installed a custom skin from VB.org that utilizes the MSIE PNG display fix. I have been trying latley to modify a template, the FORUMHOME template to remove the custom welcome text generated by Vbulletin, so I do not get a double display error for the welcome hack recent install, which works finem except for the double display on the forum home page.

When I actually view the template, in the admin cp, and remove the portions that are outlined to be removed to only display one welcome message on the forum index, the script hangs up, and never completes. I back click to get out and get back in, which created more proccess(s), and server load.

Then the action gets qued by the server somehow, and loops to infinity, until the danger e-mail shows up from the server:

Server Load 6.21 (2 cpus)

Any Ideas that could help?

I've had that happen before with malformed conditionals. Make sure they're all opened and closed properly.

Filburt1,

Would it be possible for you to take a look at this issue. I would be willing to pay you for your trouble.

It would be more appropriate to submit a thread in the Service Requests forum stating the problem and a desired price to fix it and have others send you private messages. My services are not available at the moment. However, I can give you the advice to check that every <if> has a closing </if> and every </if> has an opening <if>. I've seen Apache's CPU load skyrocket on my own test server when conditionals don't match up correctly. My guess is vB's method of evaluating conditionals is stuck in an infinite look, possibly recursive.
