Should AJAX be OFF?

Is it better to have the AJAX features turned on or off for large trafficked forums? Which will help save the servers?

can you be less cryptic and tell me what problem you are speculating about and what you see. the page lods fine for me logged in .

I have seen this occur rarely, usually when my internet connection is slow to begin with (connectivity problems).

Do this: Log-in, go to a thread page, Press REFRESH

Does the browser say DONE but there is a delay between the header loading and the rest of the page? If so PM me.

Whats so mysterious about it that it cant be posted in public?

Is it the fact that IE renders tables a little differently and usually takes a half second from the time the header loads to load the rest of the page?

Yeah, IE "hangs" on page load much more than Mozilla.

I wouldn't use any ajax that autorefreshes on a timer, but the stuff built into vbulletin seems fine.

then again google has a datacenter worth of servers dedicated to gmail and software that specifically is engineered to work on their multi-tiered server architecture.

Ajax hav not any bad effect

I have ajax turned on and it only seemed to help reduce the sever load. Stands to reason as you end up saving page loads.
