        Hi, i just visited you forum and it loaded very fast. The code of smf is well optimized. The slowness may be due to server where you are hosting . I think its a shared one.
            More over i suggest to upload you own logo and customize your footer. You have such active community so your forum must look professional.

THANKS PKRACK for such a nice and urgent reply, actually i also want my forum to look like professional, but im new in this field. and yes this is on shared server. can you further suggest me what to do about this to look like more professional. I also announced the Moderators Required Request for controlling the categories of the forum.

         Which hosting you are using? Try a better host whose reputation is good in online world.
        Get a nice logo for your forum. Edit the index.template.php and order the footer links (those which you think necessary) and remove those which are useless or are not required for you. (i suggest dont touch the smf links). More over think of a nice slogan and add it to your forum. Adding moderators will reduce your burden and will keep your forum clean. You can ask us when you stuck to get help for sure. :-)

Im using Serversea hosting. www.serversea.com ,
When im trying to edit the code, it become show the error. because we can't edit the smf code and all the links on footer are smf links. i need moderators for my forum who can make my forum clean. i have invested much on the advertisement of this forum. but im sad....


some times this script warning message is occered (file attached) and it hangs all the system.

       You mean that you dont know to edit the code or your host is not allowing you to edit?
        I have added your forum to my todo list and will join it after my medical exams which i will face in july. Sorry for late reply, i am on my mobile due to problem in laptop. I may  edit your code manually if you pm me your index.template.php file (it will take some time as my connection is slow).

im also using mobile internet at this time which is also very slow. i will send your my index file when i come on fast internet connection. and i have modified the post reply above with some error message.

thanks for the support, im very thankful to you.

Buddy the hosting you mentioned is a very expensive overseller. How can they give you unlimited disk and bandwidth when a computer can have only son tb of space where they host thousands of sites. They also seem to be a reseller one.

I think its not your server problem. Its the adbrite ad code which is causing the problem. Try removing it for some days and then check.

Also remove the skyscapper ad as it is making your forum ugly. Place the ads in header and footer as i have in my forum. (link number 2 in my signature)
