works for me as well ... nice hack thanks a mill for help

Great hack. My question....... are you going to improve performance on this so queries are run via the vbulletin cron functions? At the moment whenever someone is rewarded a point, the MySQL database is written too.... this is very bad for performance. I removed threadviews rewards for now as this is the biggest killer performance wise - but you should queue and run database writes every hour or so - not for every point rewarded.

In fact, I've just disabled this completely for now as it's killing the server with the constant writing to the database. Let me know if you're planning on improving the performance or whether this is something that will never be designed suitable for larger boards. :)

Server loads with hack (minus threadviews rewards): ~3.50
Server loads without hack: ~0.30

Hmm, thats odd. we did design this to run well on larger boards, we will see about improving it before we release the next version

in general, everytime someone posts, the database is already written to.

This is just adding one addtional query.

I do understand about the threadviews, how large is your forum though ?

can you pin point the exact cause of the load rise?

Niteeyes, after viewing your site, we never imagined a site that large would be using it, we will be attempting to improve preformance.

IF you want drop in our chat, im in there and matt should be in there sooner or later if you want to chat or have any ideas about improving things.

Hi,

we've upgraded to 3.02 and reinstalled all the hacks. Everything is working perfectly, but ushop is giving us some troubles. In the ushop.php main page, no actions are displayed; yet, the system doesn't display the "No actions found" message. We rechecked all the files, and it seems all correct to us. What could be causing this?

Thanks!

Did you upload and run the installer (for templates only)?

Yes, we edited the new files, uploaded them, and run the installer of the vbulletin upgrade.

No no, reupload the ushop install file, and select install templates only
