Your site is gazillions of times faster now EDIT - Spam problem still persists.

I tried to activate the other styles, but it doesn't seem to be working. I selected them in the style manager, but they still don't show up when I view the forum.

In general settings, allow users to choose styles --> YES


You have two .tff files that look suspicious to me and they are causing the bulk of your slow loading. .tff files are font files, they are executable files and i have never seen a style use them this way, downloading them to the users' computer.

I suspect they're not really font files.

This is why i want to test your vb default theme. If these exist there then we know they are NOT font files.
