This is an example of a page: http://www.sparklywater.com/category/2/stream/1190.html

The URL does not show the ?action=play part because I am using vBSEO to rewrite those URLs. However perhaps Google can still decipher the original URLs and has problems indexing them.

By the way, my 'Who's Online' display shows that Google does 'scan' the pages, but it doesn't go on to index them.

I've taken a look at Google, and it is indexing at least some of your stream files. For example, if you enter the search "At the mountains so high site:www.sparklywater.com", it correctly returns a link to the "You Are Never Alone - Zain Bhikha" track.

Other entries, such as the one you pointed out to me (Wonderful World - Connie Talbot), are not indexed, although the essentially identical entry in your "creative arts" forum is being indexed. Perhaps Google doesn't like two pages with virtually the same content?

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed. I'll see what I can do to get more of my links indexed :)

At a page with vbadvanced modules, I find the following templates uncached:

links_keysbit
links_othercatsbit(5)
links_ratebit_dropdown(5)
links_reportlinkbit(4)
links_sendtofriendbit(5)

I use 3 instances of ldm_new.php
As far as I can see, I do not need this page to show keywords/keysbit, ratebit, reportlink or sendtofriend. I am not sure what othercatsbit is.

I'm not surprised, and this is why I was saying yesterday that one needs to keep the functionality of these plugins under control.

However, I think the error messages that you are reporting are happening because you have switched on LDM's debug or tracing feature - they are not related to the *similarthreads* plugin. There is no reason at all why you need debug or trace in normal use - all it's doing is adding a lot of overhead in terms of database access. I suggest you disable this feature and see whether the other plugins are still causing problems.

Debug and tracing are found on LDM->admin->debug

I had the tracking function on to see if I could find if there where sites leaching, as my stats found very large bandwidth use.

I have turned similar files on again and will see if that works well.
Debug mode shows the following templates are uncached on showthread:

links_keysbit(4)
links_ratebit_dropdown(4)
links_playerbit_JWPlayer (1)

Similar files shows 4 files, but does not show keywords, ratings or a player.

Many thanks for your help.

Thank you. That's a great improvement!

The order in which categories are displayed is incorrect wherever there is a closed category. I am not sure if this is a coincidence.

The template caching for the vba modules is fixed in the 2.3.0RC5 release. The caching for the similarthreads extra will be fixed in the next release. It is necessary to have those templates cached, as the code does not 'know' what will actually be displayed - this depends on the contents of other templates.

I can't reproduce this problem.

I had to turn similar files off again, as it seemed to lead to all kinds of errors. Each of the errors where not directly related. They disappeared when I turned the similar files hack off.

I am running 2.3.0RC5, and have installed the extras, but my vba modules are php modules. How do I turn these ldm_new.php modules into something that uses the imported ldm_new.module?

You have to delete the php files, then go to vb/acp/vb advanced/download upload module

I think there has been enough testing of version 2.3.0, so (with further very minor fixes) this is now available in the header post as the officially supported release for vb 3.7 and 3.8.

Thank you so much for your labors Andrew.
