HAHAHA sorry TECK the chdir was commented out. I un commented it now it pulls up.

ok.. but i noticed also that it takes forever to load even your main page???? not the vbHome one? isnt that a server problem?
and make me happy, don't rush it. take your time. you make little mistake and is all screwed. some files are changed some code is altered in a different way to squeeze more out of performance.

so take you time and check all properly.

Here is the microstats from a fresh install of vb2.2.8 with the latest d/l of vbhome 3.1 with the fix already in the index page

Page generated in 13.17248702 seconds (0.70% PHP - 99.30% MySQL) with 20 queries

My test area is running off my @home cable modem so pulling it up outside will be slow.

Pulling up the forums locally gets me

Page generated in 0.16096699 seconds (83.25% PHP - 16.75% MySQL) with 16 queries

Sorry for being such a trouble for you but I really do appreciate all the help you have given :)

so, on the local server it shows at 16queries? the vbHome or the forums? i didnt get you.
it doesnt make sense to add 4 extra queries... from where?? is not possible.

the first stat with 20 is for vbhome the second stat is for the forum page itself

is impossible, look at my stats... and i have all options turned on:

I will try again and let you know :)

remember that you had before 14queries? on the old vbHome?
now if you turn on the polls that's 2 queries and the pm's that's another one, for a total of 17, exacly what i have me.

i use the same file, so there is no magic in there... :)
hmm on your home page, it took like 15seconds to load the nuke portal or what ever it is...

do you have a server online? through your cable? how it is setup your site?

is it possible for you to get all of those templates in to a collapsed folder thing? cause i mean i ahev about 100 custom templates and stuff and having them un collapsed is just more of a mess..

and if you can, how? cause i have a whole bunch i would like to get collapsed

ya it is possible.
open [high]/admin/template.php[/high] and find:
below this, add:
you are done, now all home templates are grouped toghether.
