How about: create the folder. If it doesn't work, contact your host or chmod 777 the folder. 98% of hosts are not going to require 777 these days. But that's just me I guess.

Please do not take offense. Just wanted to offer advice for users setting this up. Don't want anyone introducing security issues where they don't have to.

This is simply not correct. The directory must be writable by the web server user. That is true. But where the web server is running as the domain/user, you do NOT have to chmod 777. The most common case for needing chmod 0777 is where PHP is running as an Apache module. But not many hosts are...

We have just developed a mobile theme for our site and coded a very simple plugin to detect mobile users and redirect them accordingly. However, when Vboptimise is enabled, desktop guests will often see the mobile theme instead of the desktop theme. And sometimes mobile guests will see the...

So how is performance for you now? I've been following this thread with interest as we have several boards your size or bigger that we'd like to convert.

I understand. We just have a lot of changes and acquisitions going on right now and 10 minutes was about all I could wait to run that query. We aren't going to end up using this mod on our sites, at least not right now. It's just too big of a performance drop compared to Abe's. When we have more...

Left query running for 10 minutes before giving up on it. Since our post table is MyISAM, I'm not going to run this query for fear of locking it up while users are trying to use the site. 200 users; 1800 guests;

That isn't a satisfactory answer. You should already know where your performance bottlenecks are in YOUR software. It is not up to us to diagnose and troubleshoot it for you. We did not capture any slow queries with 'thanks' in the string (Slow query is > 5 seconds) but that doesn't change the...

We had extremely high hopes for this addon but it absolutely crippled our database. We have roughly 8 million 'thanks' in our system and upon activating this product, we went from 0% CPU usage on our DB server to 25% nearly instantly. Eventually the connections piled up and the database server...
