Any possible way to optimize showthread?

[Mijae]

What stuff can I do to make it faster? From all my forum files, showthread seems to be the slowest. I have a one mb connection and the page loads SLOW.

Anything I can do about it?

you can enable post caching in your vB settings, that will spead up showthread.

There are also some other options to make sure you have switched off, like users browsing the thread, similar threads, if its just slow displaying stuff try reducing the posts per page too.
