Thats what im seeing anyway lol,

I am taking all your comments onboard and will be removing a good handfull again, some will be gone tonight....

The popular keywords and tags were only installed to test it and see how it works, was never to be kept, not only that since installing this my server load has sky rocketed and has peaked at 16.0% this will be the 1st to go..

Does moving text cause queries?

I will be removing the Randome arcade games hack

As for the forum listsings, a little lost there, what do you mean? perhaps its the style?
Featured threads will be gone!
Not sure about the stats top 5 yet

The forum is not really about anything specific,

In short dude, your attitude pretty much bites in this topic. You say "which are the most server intensive hacks?", everyone says "you have a gazillion hacks, no wonder...", you say "yes, but which ones are the most server intensive?"

A little ott m8 dont ya think....I am asking for help not a frigging slating thanks, Please dont join in again else i will just forget about this thread..

The reason i asked for the most server intensive hacks is so that i can see if i have them and remove them. I dont want to remove all my hacks but a good handfull that maybe use more resources than others

I am taking most if not all comments onboard

It is only the last 2 weeks or so that i have had any real issues as such

Since turning off the VB Shout the server load dropped, although this was only used for the staff....

Kurt, Thanks for your offer m8, i may just take you up on it if i struggle

The only setting for that is either 'update immediately' or 'once an hour'.

Merge some forums together.

Move all of your sports subforums into a single forum. you've got 20 threads in 4 forums. that could be one forum with 20 threads.

Another example

The Garage
Here you can discuss all aspects of the motor vehicle and bikes

You don't need 3 more subforums for specific aspects, merge these all into one.

Again, you could probally merge all of your cellphone forums into one.

Condense and remove some out of the games section

Keep it simple

Sony
Nintendo
Microsoft
(that just about covers it)

You have alot fo cleaninng house to do.

I have just this second set it to once per hour

So more forums more load?

NO, 100 forums with each 1 posts looks slow, compared to 1 forum with 100 posts.

Also I'd feel so confused as a member as to where to post and why.

That forum activity hack could be a poteintial problem.

Your homepage gives me this ;

MKPortal M1.1 Rc1 ?2003-2005 All rights reserved
Page generated in 2.65302 seconds with 62 queries

That's an insane number of queries, and too long for a page generation.

[bashy]

Hi

Thats just the portal.... Must be one of them center blocks causing that!!
The forumhome is now down to
Executed 44 queries (3 queries for uncached templates) was 60 queries


Portal Blocks
MKPortal M1.1 Rc1 ?2003-2005 All rights reserved
Page generated in 0.56936 seconds with 19 queries

Just out of interest in the debug mod you have for example

a list of templates and (1) or (62) after the template, what are the (1) & (62)
are they queries for said template?

I have now removed quite a few hacks, i have been through them all (or there abouts) and removed any that dropped a query or more, I am down to 274 hacks and 39 queries on the forumhome....

I will attempt to do the same for the postbit and other main templates as well
perhaps at the weekend

Server load is at 0.27%

[Wordplay]

-vbshout
-random smilies in postbit (that almost killed my site)

zachary you said vbshout with some bad settings, what would be the better settings then?

[bashy]

Hi peeps

Ok just found out that the custom drop links that i have in the navbar are creating
wait for it, 17 queries :O so, i am looking for an alternative....
Perhaps creating a manual droplink menu opposed to using the hack, would this still cause the queries?
If so what would you suggest please?

[kurtbarker]

17, geez, lol

I don't know an alternative mate, but still you'd be above 40?

what does the hack do that you are referring to?
