Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 29, 201114 yr Ever since my forums were upgraded to IPB3, I had noticed a definite abuse in server load stats on my site. It was getting to such a point where it was affecting the overall performance of my site and forums. While I had never connected anything with these high server loads, I have discovered that the problem was related to the forum skins that I was using. I discovered this problem upon installing a particular new skin and noticed that my server loads had dropped from 8-20 to down under 5.00. I'm wondering if there's anything that IPS plans on doing to establishing certain code that won't be as memory intrusive for server loads.
January 31, 201114 yr If you installed a skin that increased your load (not sure how, but I'll assume your findings are accurate), that is an issue with a third party addon and not something within our software. We can only support the default skin(s). It's the same with modifications - there are some modifications that could drive your server load through the roof, but it's up to you whether you want to use it or not.
