OK Guys, I'm looking into what can be done to speed things up a little.

It seems that Google search bar was a major factor in causing slow downs so it has been removed and replaced with a new "Google Search VWWatercooled" Button which brings up a custom search. For those that use it, the Google search can do a far better job than the built in vBulletin search, especially if you want to search for two letter words.

Let me know how things are performing now?

Now that's service, thanks Aaron!

The old Google search was much better, than the new one.

I've also had the forum randomly logging me out over the last week, even when I have the remember me box ticked. Don't think my browser is resetting the cookies as it is only happening on here. It's a pain when searching cos it keeps resetting where you are up to in new thread lists etc. Anyone else?

This still keeps happening for me in IE9. Anyone else? Seems like it logs me out if I've opened too many tabs eg right-click from the new posts results etc

It's not upgrade specific, but I still lol everytime I see the member banner you created a couple of years ago Aaron, what's an Onbox?

It's never happened to me using Google Chrome

I think it's particularly bad from an advertisers perspective because they're probably getting statistics that show plenty of clicks on their ad, when in reality it's because when i go to click the 'last' button for a thread before that last item has loaded, I end up on clicking the ad.

good for the people who charge said advertisers, though

Is the problem perhaps IE9. I've been driven mad lately as IE9 has started blocking all the ads and popups, and it takes me several back clicks to get out of an eBay page for example, like I have to back click every blocked ad or dynamic feature, is driving me nuts. Same odd things happening all over the place, and messing with security settings etc does not seem to help. Doesn't happen in Chrome, not tried anything else. Seems to have become an issue in the last several weeks, and my money is on Microsoft being the problem, yet again.

[geoff_gti]

You're probably right Greg, although I haven't had the same cookies/log-out issue with other forums. Perhaps I just don't spend as much time on them or have as many tabs open haha

I've started using Chrome for a few things elsewhere so I'll give that a whirl while logged in rather than just viewing as a Guest & see what happens...
