@arracing it will select whatever database for your site that it you have it set to change directorys for :\, about cookies im not sure :\ ive never goten it to work quite right personally.

@Mike, i asked if you turned all the options off and it looks like you havent, GO INTO the admin cp and turn on and off each setting and watch the load time for each one, this will help you figure out whats causing the drastic load times

my guess would be Latest Forum Topics(very active and l;arge forum)
Home Stats queerys the database for the top poster wich with your forums size could be a problem
and maybe acitve users, due to the fact that if your loged in it checks for buddys lists(i think)
