In all fairness to this hack, which I have been using for years, I wanted to update my last post....

After finally turning this off, my forum did run much faster...

Yesterday, I took the heavy forum off of the shared server and moved it to a dedicated server... It was a nightmare... The reason is that VB allows you the option of storing your attachments in the database and also on the server in a folder...

Well, when the programmer went to move the database it crashed because the table for attachments was 250MB that was 2500 images... It took him awhile to back up, split the file and then import the table in the new forum...

At that point I immediately switched the images off of the database and into a folder... This is all handled in your Admin CP...

This was a learning lesson for me and I hope it helps other people with large amounts of attachments.

My programmer who does this on a regular basis with OS Commerce says this was the largest database he has ever seen!
