My board is running slow need help

[venom2124]

Okay I installed a hack a few days back and it messed everything up. So someone told me about the disable hooks code. So I did that and got rid of the hack. Before I found out about the disable hooks I set it up to reload my database from a previous save earlier in the day. So I got the hack of and everything was running smoothly and I went to bed.

When I got up and checked my forum the database restore had occurred. Ever since I've had nothing but problems with performance. It's been really slow or won't load at all.

I've tried running with hooks disable and it doesn't help much. I'm just not sure what I can do to try and fix the problem.

Any ideas on how to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated. I have minimal knowledge.

I get this:
Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Check vboptions > cookies > gzip heml output - is it on? Note this:
If you are already using mod_gzip or mod_deflate on your server, do not enable this option.
Do you have either of those enabled on your server?

I'm trying to check but having issues getting my admin panel to come up.

You can try adding this to your config.php file and see if you can get into your admin cp:
// Turn gzip off
DEFINE('NOZIP', 1);

You didn't say, but if you're on a shared server then 99.9% of the slowdowns you see are caused by server problems, not vb. You could disable all mods and turn the forum off completely and it won't affect the server load you see in cpanel because you aren't causing it.

I really don't see how you could have lost your database. Don't you download a backup daily? At most you might lose a day or two, not all of it.
