    Listen - for the sake of the performance of this board... check this out.

    In the vB Admin CP, go to the vB Options menu, and look in the User Listing & Profile Viewing section for the last entry:

    "Show Last Post on Profile Page"

    Disable this.

    Showing the last post on a member profile can cause large table scans which leads to table locking. This may increase load time on your forums as well as the load of your server. This option should only be enabled for smaller forums.
    I know that this option is still enabled on GFY, which definitely puts a lot of stress on the forum server.

    with the thousands of members here and millions of posts, this has gotta hurt the performance.

    maybe you'll then be able to even put up the search feature again.

          remove 1/60th of the load (if that) only to double the load with the search feature.
          Coming Soon!

                How do you know it's 1/60th?

                I am well aware that the search feature would be more resource consuming... but this is a start.

                      the goal is to get the GFY search back, there is much larger boards that also have a search feature... it's not impossible.

                        Did you notice that Programmers never have names? Management always refers to them as "programmer", "tech guys", "techs", "developers", "engineers". LOL

                                I dont know for sure, but it isnt a hell of a lot. I actually cant see it freeing up more then a couple percent of total resources.

                                But the search feature uses huge amount of resources.
                                Coming Soon!
