It will be a bit difficult, since for starter, I didn't install the complete hack on my board, but only the parts I needed, and also I don't have the original hacked version to compare the differences with...

If you really want me to do it, and ethank approves, I guess I could work on something though... (you'll have to send me the originally hacked versions of some files).

Hi tommy, My members are requesting this hack all the time, but I don't want to install it due to the increase load to the server.. But after hearing you, you are my last hope!

I would really like to see such optimizations to the hack... If there's something I can do, just tell me :)

Well, it's all working like a charm for me - I also have not put in everything, only the relevant bits. :)

tommy, you must help us, you are our only hope! </leia-like voice>

What would those "relevant bits" be. I really want to use this hack but am not sure what parts to install. Would really appreciate the help.

Has anyone else had any problems with this? The "Mark Forum Read" link on the board I installed it on doesn't seem to work anymore...

Well, I spent some time today optimizing this hack and got it so the forum index page is done using only 2 additional queries. That is a good thing :) I cut the total queries down to virtually nothing. You can eliminate one of the queries most of the time if you use PHP-Cache.

I also added PHP-Cache to handle sub-forum display, but thats another hack entirely.

So..I'll redo the instructions and repost them. With the new code it doesn't add much load at all to the forums. I still have to optimize forumdisplay the same way, but that one isn't as bad because usually there aren't as many forums on that page.

Thanks Ethank! I'm going to try it right now!

I haven't updated the instructions, so don't :) This week I will.

Your beautiful hack works like a miracle on 2.2.5 anyway at the moment... just so you know... :)
