delay when posting new thread

[kevinh]

I have a vB 3.7 forum and am experiencing a significant delay (30-60 secconds) when submitting the first post when starting a new thread. Once the thread is created subsequent posts are processed immediately.

Can anyone suggest how to trouble shoot this?

Have you tried on a unmodified default style?
Have you tried with all mods disabled?
How big is the site, members, posts etc?

Sounds like a plugin problem at first thought but you should try Ozzy's advice first before searching through all your plugins.

Thanks guys. I will follow your advice and report back.

Maybe you need to optimize your database tables and remove all overhead via phpmyadmin.
