When I see large vBulletins with high performance, I'm always curious what the specs are... and WHT seems to also be using a php ad rotator with images and html. Is it phpadsnew or something else?

I think its phpAdsNews - well, thats what the login shows for the ad rotator (go to the directory that the script points to)

You can find phpAdsNew at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpadsnew/

*slaps forehead* I've done that to see so many other things on different sites. I don't know why it didn't occur to me here. I think it's because I've been so paranoid lately...putting fake index.htm pages in all of my directories

The site does use phpsadsnew, it's fantastic, it's easy to intergrate and has an extremely neat, clean and professional interface, if you didn't know it was free you'd think it was worth $$$$.

did you notice any drop in performance when you installed it? I'm not sure what specs this server has, but I'd imagine another internal php/MySQL script running on vBulletin would be server intensive.

No, very little, we have set to use persistant connections (can be tricky).

what is the url to your forum ... it sounds big!



Thanks

I believe animeboards.com is it.
