just changed over from the older versionby Gerald on
It works like a charm! My sites home page knocked off some load time on first visit. Very nice, Thanks.
Liked it but not after djdevon3 postby Banshee on
I was running this on my fron page as it's suppose to. After reading the review I wondered if this is what was slowing down the main page loading. So I removed it and sped up my site pretty signifigantley. It's nice to see the forum center block but I didn't realize how much it took for performance.
Too Many DB Queriesby djdevon3 on
I used it on my site for about a month. It was pretty nice and very feature rich for admins. But...it added about 50 DB queries. That really slowed down my site once I started adding in a couple intensive blocks (2 blocks that took 15 queries each). Overall I was running about 100+ queries. So I had to get rid of the forum centre block. For those of you who aren't running intensive blocks then this is a very nice addon.
An additional 50 DB queries is a bit much for many sites though. I'll stick to a regular forum center block if the need ever arises again. This one is easily the most query intensive block I've ever come across.
Yay!by Ronin on
Good job Daimos. Thanks for integrating all the features into one block.
