What do you mean "getting overhead" ?

Why not ?

Thats correct, they are added by this mod.

Same question as above - why not ?

Yep, you could do that.


Sounds rather like you have a mysql issue. There is nothing special about those tables.

I just optimized those tables fine without an issue.

Can you make this addon as widget?

Probably not, or at least not the full version - might think about just the main (forumhome) display as a widget version at some point.

At what point would it make sense to prune the vb_guest table? I recently started using this addon and already have 100.000 records in that table. Does it matter / affect performance if this table will have millions of records?

If your mysql is working well then it wont have much effect, its all indexed.

However, have you got the auto clean-up disabled ?

Unless you are using the data for something specific then you dont need to keep more than a couple of days worth.

Thanks. I see now. I have the auto-cleanup enabled and the table only has data of guests that just visited. So the table will not grow to millions, unless my site become extremely popular.

Thank you Paul, as usual, another great mod.

Optimizing my community. This included turning off most of anything that shows or tracks who is online.
