this is driving me up a wall!

[cono]

i am not sure why, but my forum home page loads a lot slower then the rest of the board? if you look at diffrent threads and look through the differnt sections of the portal the board is fast, but when you click to to look at forum home it takes a while? my forum home doesnt even have all that many images.

anyone have any ideas on how i could speed this up?

if you want to see for your self,

There's a template/hack mod that you can use so that you can set debug mode on or off in your vBulletin Options. IMO it's a lot easier

do you have the link to the mod?

thanks, DrkFusion + Auero
