It's still running quite slowly. I haven't read through every post on this thread but has anyone suggested or has the idea of load balancing been considered? Perhaps three or four VPS in multiple countries to help balance the work. You could round-robin the DNS and, given a visitor's geographical location, direct them to the relevant server. Just a thought.
I will donate as much as I can afford, when I can afford it (payday).
Cheers for the input! But to be completely honest with you there's not much load on the server actually.
It's just me not spotting those parts of the script which hold it back. You have to know I did like 50+ modifications to the original board scripts and it feels a bit like searching the needle in the haystack. I'm narrowing it down but it still takes me a bit to fix it, I suppose.
