Ok - from /myvbindex.php?explain=1 I see this:

Query: SELECT count(*) AS count FROM post WHERE dateline>='1062795588'
Time before: 0.075654983520508
Time after: 7.8819960355759

I know it is only something that effects logged in users.....

I am assuming the above is checking the number of posts since the last visit - which isn't a standard vBulletin figure right?

I removed the welsome box that holds this info but it still gets stuck on it, so I assume this is something that is checked if the user is logged in, regardless of which templates are being used.

I am quite happy to lose this figure from the script.

Assuming the above is correct, how would I go about removing the bit that does this post count check?

Thanks.
