Database Performance Tweaks.. Update 01:44 PST, initial database server tweaks complete. running a full table optimization and moving the database over to MySQL 8.0. With the database size being around 20GB it will take some time to complete, I expect the import to be done tomorrow morning PST. Once functionality is established we will commence an upgrade to 5.5.6. We apologize for the poor performance. VBulletin support has been basically worthless and taking months to respond to tickets, calls go unanswered and we are basically moving forward via trial and error (while throwing hardware and additional expense at the problem to improve performance) --James
