Hi
I am currently using Web Wiz Forums on my website and is very statisified with it.
But I have a problem with my web host, which always limits my members from coming in, quoting high cpu usage as a reason. I only have about 100 over members.
My web host says that for some unknown reasons this forum script uses a lot of resources, and to make sure that my members can access, it would be best to change to another type of PHP-based forum software that uses MYSQL instead of MSSQL.
I find this very outrageous so here I am posting to get the views of all wwf supporters/users.

I've done loads of tests and the forum doesn't use anymore server resources than any other application connecting to a database.
If you are on a Windows web server then a PHP forum would use far more resources.
This forum also uses stired procedures for the SQL server version which
means that it uses less resources as the SQL queries don't need to be
compiled each time. Stored procedures are not available in mySQL so
again this would use more resources.
Maybe a change of web host would be an idea to one that knows what it is talking about.

Thanks borg for the reply.
I also don't see why the wwf can take up huge resources, I went through the codes and could see that you have already put in effort to optimize it.
I totally agree on what you have stated. I guess a change of web host is now inevitable. Thanks!
Any good/reliable web host to recommend? 
P.S. Is webwiz.net on shared hosting?

Sorry, another question - did anyone encounter any problems when trying to update a huge RTE table?
The table will be updated but will not redirect back to the topic. I got the following instead:
Server Error
The following error occurred:
The server response could not be read because of an error. Contact your system administrator. (SERVER_RESPONSE_RESET)
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
Please contact the administrator.
I have tried to increase the script timeout parameter but still got the same error. I am on 7.51a now.

This site is on a shared web server with GearHosts, click the link on
the left of this page and if you sign up with them could you mention
you where refered by this site. They run quite a number of WebWizForums
on their servers.
I imagine the error is beacause the ASP response object can only handle
up to 100kb of data, this data includes cookies, session variables,
form data, query strings, browser head details, etc. so is different
for every site and every page.
If you try and post something which is too large the response object will course an error.

Thanks for the Gearhosts information, I will definately check it out.
Is there any way to counter the 100kb data limitation?

Thanks.
Errm, another question, when i click at the active user listing, there is a "anonymous" user, can please advise where this come from? I thought there are only guests user if they are not registered.
OT: Is there any plans to move wwf to ASP.NET?
