may be
but the stange thing is that this huge number of queries doesn't appear when vbtrends is disabled

while all other hacks are working fine with or without vbtrends & with only 9 quries @ forumhome

Again, it's only a guess, but if one of the other hacks has a hook that is being triggered by something in my hack, that would explain it.

Ok
I gave the hooks a look & found that nothing active @ forumhome_start / forumhome_complete / global_complete exept vbtrends

I tried figuring it out mathematically but didn't get numbers resembling what I was getting. Granted, my board's been open for 7 years, but the oldest post is from 2004, so the numbers would be skewed regardless. I think I'll just leave the percentages out, though I like the numbers themselves.

I will recheck my forumals.

There are only eight queries max in the hack. I've looked carefully and I can't see any way to ever get more then eight queries run with this hack. Something must be going on specific to your setup.

For some reason, my birthdays and current events disappeared on the forum home when I did this. I didn't think I pasted over any code that wasn't supposed to be replaced, but is that what I did? I can't figure out what else it might be. The statistics show up fine, but the birthdays and calender events are gone.

It's possible. You can check the template history to see what you changed.

That's what I've got--I didn't paste over anything. Now I'm really confused.

Something funny is going on. I'm looking into it
