Ticker / Countdown Clock Generator to use?

Also, from the test results here : http://gtmetrix.com/reports/slotfanatics.com/pgb3ihtk , it is asking you to specify image dimensions something that vbulletin just doesn't put enough emphasis on which actually slows your site down quite a bit because it doesn't tell the browsers what size these images are and it makes it work harder to render them.

It is only 30 images most of which are the collapse icons and other smaller icons used for the whos online and category icons. I also see that you don't have your attachments and avatars being server from your file system and instead they are being served from your database. Moving your attachments and avatars over to the file system takes you about 2 mins to do and will decrease your servers workload.

To switch them to your file system go to your attachments menu, click on attachments storage type and just move them to your file system. You might have to create the directory for them but usually vbulletin already has it done automatically.

Do this for your avatars as well and you will see an improvement.

For the other images that it's asking you to provide the image dimensions, just do a template search for the image, i.e., collapse_40b.png , sometimes you only need to look for the file extension which is (40b.png) and then you add the correct dimensions of that image like this,

<img width="16" height="16" title="if needed" alt="if needed" src="images/styles/your-theme/path/collapse.png">

This is going to take you a couple of hours to find all the images to add their dimensions but it is worth it , believe me!

If you need any more help just ask.

Also in your htaccess you will want to add some custom code to give your forums some Leverage browser caching ....I will give you what I use if you want it so you can check it out before you add it to your htacces file.

Hope this helps you out my Man !!!
