Yes. They seem to be coming back now though. The weird thing is that my $vboptions[forumhome] in the navbar is still eval-ing to 'index' even though in vBulletin Options it's set to 'home'

I don't see how it could be an str_replace issue, since it says $vboptions[forumhome] and not 'index' in the template.

Edit:
For some reason my forum had switched to using an older version of my current style that didn't have any updates from the past month.

Everything's working beautifully again.

Man I have been fiddling with this for days and I'm beginning to think this mod isn't working at all....on my site anyway.

If I turn on the cache and go to the following address it reads the same as if the cache were turned off.

Shouldn't the load times change with this mod turned on?

Page load times will change only if your server is creaking under heavy load. If your server is only moderately busy, you may not see any change.

You should see new files being written to the templates directory. If that happens, be assured that it is working.

Also, the benefit will be minimal (or maybe none) unless you have a good php opcode cache along with this hack.

This mod is for bigger boards, you usually won't notice any difference on your small board with just a handful people online (if that is your board: http://www.politicalforums.net/).

Well...It's really not a problem for me, load time I mean. I have a 3mb connection.

But there are a couple people complaining about access times to the site.

So I'm trying to make em happy ya know.

The template cache doesn't not decrease your page size.

Your site is already gzipped, that's about as good as it can get.

I tried the template compression mod you mentioned earlier in this thread. But I really don't see a difference there either.

But...thanks for your help...

Keep up the good work!

yeah it makes basically no difference if your site is gzipped

Is there any reason why this mod would stop the "Who's been online today" mod from working?

With this enabled it doesn't display. When I disable this, it works fine.

I cleared my template cache directory so it's definitely not just finding an old file.

Question for ya. I used this mod (an earlier version for 3.5.x) and when this cache mod is enabled, I could only use 1 style and the others would come up as white pages. My site has 3 styles and I'm wondering if it has changed so you can have multiple styles and still use this hack.
