Hmm. That seems to be the message in the drop down menu (returning default icon) which is fine. With debug mode enabled however, you should get an overview of "Template Usage", there it will show all templates used to generate the page you see and the number of times used. If any of those templates are "red" or highlighted (colour may change depending on your skin) then the template is uncached.

How many templates are uncached?

Can you go on my site and see the debug information http://www.chattaboxforums.com


In the debug information 2 are showing up red
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost (21)
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

That would mean 2 templates are uncached, which isn't too bad actually but they are normal templates so they should really be cached. It'd be a case of enabling/disabling mods to find out if any of them are causing it.

Other than that I see vB Optimise is doing its job fine and the cache is being pulled successfully. If you can I recommend using the vB Optimise options with vB Advanced which you seem to use to further reduce queries, see the top post for more information on that :)

Where do I get Vb Advanced from?

Oh if you don't already have it no worries, I figured with that Sidebar on your forum you were running it :)

Hi Deceptor,

Are you available for custom work?

Hey Megatron :)

Depends really, but send me a PM with the details and I'll certainly take a look!

I don,t want to upgrade my forum to 384 until I make sure that this works fine with :(

It works all good. Though I am using just Caching of templates and vba integration feature of vbo.

Im not sure if anyone has brought this up before but I have this installed and it has the coolest side benefit for me.

Every morning my forum exceeds the number of sql connections my host allows when ppl wake up and check the forum. Before vBoptimize, it closed my forum down and gave an error but now, you only get the error if you are trying to post. Because stuff is cached, most of the time, I never notice that my forum was temporarily offline till I get the pile of emails. It is also shut down for a much smaller time, will come back online faster and really smooths things out.

This is a really great hack. Thanks a ton.
