When i'm alone on the forum (Post/Edit)server load up to 3
But when on the forum are 20 Users (including me) The Server los is verry LOW Like 0.06 .. How explaine this ?
If you are on shared hosting then it's calculationg the load on the hole server, not just your site.

ow... didn't Know that.. Sad Sorry .
Thankk you for the Answer Wink !
Yeah, probably. check the load frequently and make sure that the symptoms are always the same. MyBB doesn't make such high load, so you better contact your host if you continue having this problem, just to shed more light about it. But I assure that this is not related to mybb.

regards
My previous hosting disabled my account for server load, this is what they gave evidence as:

the problem seems to be with the path below:

http://www.drpoodle.com/forum/mybb/showthread.php

So apparently MyBB does generate excessive server load...enough to get my account disabled Sad

Can any of you guys take a look at this and see if there is any reason for that happening?

-DrPoodle
its most likely that host is just crap..
Yeah that's basically what I told them...after they disabled my account of course...didn't go down too well!
Maybe some thread had a problem which had caused all that high load.
or maybe you have done some modification, let's say mostly an inappropriate loop.

regards
I haven't done any modifications to the showthread.php though...
