yep its the itemshop alright. vivi's 5.0 verson, anything i can do to stop it or sould i just remove it?

I suggest you remove it if you dont want that big of amount queries.

done, back down to 29.

While you have it referenced.....
if i try to use the explain=1 on my site it just shows me the normal thread view. I thought for a long time maybe i was doing something wrong, but just on a whim, after clicking and reading his link above, i replaced his domain with mine, leaving everything else the same, with the same result....just the normal thread view.

Anybody know why?

add

to config.php

do not leave it on tho. its why it was removed in 2.2.6, people can hack in easyly with it on

that did it :)

thanks!
