There's nothing in the bbcode manager...heres hoping it's not buried in the db somewhere from an older install invisibly screwing it over.

Cached Posts Lifespan is 14 .. that means Post Caching is on?

Forget the DB - according to your first post the SQL part of that 26 seconds was 0.12%, which is about 3/100 ths of a second. This is not your problem. The delay is related to the PHP element. If you have all the changes to showthread documented, take each one out for a while and see if the problem goes away.

Yes, that means post caching is on. To turn it off, set this to 0.

Uploading a fresh showthread.php made no change to the situation whatsoever...still the same number of queries.

Assumption: it could be in functions_showthread.php...

@Colin: I thought as much. Reckon I should try turning caching off? The concept of turning off caching usually goes against 'making pages load faster' tho, doesn't it?

I don't know which hacks you have added to your forums but...

I noticed that you are using PHP 4.3.10 ... the unserialize() function bug is probably one of the reasons why your "time" is high.

The solution--upgrade to 4.3.11.

Lol a shame 4.3.11 don't exist in a stabil yet.

I had just sent an email to my tech support person about that same thing.

Page generated in 16.24680 seconds with 26 queries,
spending 0.030720233917236 doing MySQL queries and 16.216079766083 doing PHP things.

Is there a way to look at what those 'PHP things' are? Like you can with the queries?
