For the past few weeks I've been having problems with my forum using a lot of resources and causing it to shut down. My host makes it sound like it's because of "show thread".
Quote:The CloudLinux logs show that the [showthread.php] file, in particular, is causing majority of the concurrent connections issue. One possibility in resolving this is to enable a caching plugin if that is available.
What would be causing "show thread" to be a problem?
1) Provide a list of plugin you have installed. This can be found in config-plugins.
2) Enable the debug info at the bottom of the page. This is in settings -> server & optimization settings. You'll find one about debug info and make sure that is set to yes.
3) Visit a thread, take note of how many posts are on that page and how many queries the page generated and pass that information to us.
4) About how many users do you have online at any given time?
This information will help us figure out what is wrong. It could also be that the host is trying to put too many users on their servers which is a common problem, particularly with cheap hosting plans.

I couldn't find the debug setting.
One thread with 15 replies generated 87 queries.
It's a small forum with 509 members that might have a dozen people on at one time.
I'm on a semi dedicated server, so have too many users on the server shouldn't be a problem.
Your plugin list is very long. That is one factor.
That is definitely a much higher number of queries than standard. Default installations without plugins are around 20-25. Near where it says how many queries, there should be a link that you can click to see more advanced information. It lists every query on the page. Pay attention to see if there is one query that seems to be running many times. This way it might point to what plugin is not written very optimally.
temporarily deactivate automedia plugin & check if it helps.
auto update threads plugin could be also a cause of high load.
debug info should be available at bottom right of the page.
it should also consist of advanced details link.
you can add ?debug=1 to url of any page on your forum to get the advanced details.

This one has the most queries but I don't know what it is.
SELECT u.*, u.username AS userusername, p.*, f.*, eu.username AS editusername FROM mybb_posts p LEFT JOIN mybb_users u ON (u.uid=p.uid) LEFT JOIN mybb_userfields f ON (f.ufid=u.uid) LEFT JOIN mybb_users eu ON (eu.uid=p.edituid) WHERE pid IN('68525','68528','68531','68538','68540','68543','68548','68555','68557','68558') ORDER BY p.dateline

Deactivating those 2 plugins reduced 2 queries.
What happens if you deactivate the colored usernames plugin? If that significantly reduces it, it is probably written poorly and I could probably do a rewrite of it. I am off from work tomorrow so I'll be around most of the day.

It reduced 1 queries.
I started having problems after I installed WallBB's Focus theme a few weeks ago. However if I switch to MyBB's stock theme it runs the same amount of queries.
If you can set up a temporary FTP account and an admin account on your forum that has permission to manage plugins and send me the details via PM, I can look at it right now.

OK, PM sent
