For the time being if you limit the center to 2 or 3 boards with a 2 or 3 articles each your page generation times should decrease.

Ok, JustDave, I'll try removing a few articles. I wonder if there's a way to pull up three random forums...? My moderators will accuse me of favoritism if I don't get them on the front page at all. I have 20 public forums; I'd like to pull the news forum every time, and 3 random forums out of the other 19 -- any tips on how I can do that?

In your configpal.php script find this:


// ---------------- NEWS/REVIEWS VARIABLES --------------- //

// Set this to the board's key word. (blanks will not be displayed)
$postdisplay[0] = "someboard1";
$postdisplay[1] = "someboard2";
$postdisplay[2] = "someboard3";


and change it to this:


// ---------------- NEWS/REVIEWS VARIABLES --------------- //

$BoardGroup1[0] = "board1";
$BoardGroup1[1] = "board2";
$BoardGroup1[2] = "board3";

$BoardGroup2[0] = "board4";
$BoardGroup2[1] = "board5";
$BoardGroup2[2] = "board6";

$BoardGroup3[0] = "board7";
$BoardGroup3[1] = "board8";
$BoardGroup3[2] = "board9";

$RndNum = rand(0,2);

// Set this to the board's key word. (blanks will not be displayed)
$postdisplay[0] = "PermNewsBoardKeywordHere";
$postdisplay[1] = $BoardGroup1[$RndNum];
$postdisplay[2] = $BoardGroup2[$RndNum];
$postdisplay[3] = $BoardGroup3[$RndNum];


Just replace the "board1" - "board9" keywords with your board's keywords.

I think that will work. Let me know how it goes.
