Currently the first time I am connecting to my SQL database the loading time is very long. After that the loading speed is normal.
I will post possible solutions to make the initial connection faster here:
- HostNameLookups defined at httpd.conf is ON, set it to off
- Add skip-name-resolve to your my.cnf so that your SQL database is sending out a reverse IP lookup (more info here: Dotscr.org
To make sure that SQL is running with “skip-name-resolve” execute the following code via SSH:
mysqladmin variables

I have noticed that it’s sometimes better not to define a width for a td because the IE and the FF interprete it differently. This might help if you try to arrange a sidebar and wonder why the IE is displaying it in another position.

Sometimes the IE will expand a td or any other box without a reason.
This is due to a small bug. If it’s pure text then try using “word-wrap: break-word” inside your css file. To get it working for graphics and other things use style=”overflow:hidden”. Note that this might clip some of the data inside the td/box.

If you want to add a new superadmin to your vbulletin forums then you will have to edit the config.php.
Edit $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1'; and add the id’s of the users (seperated by a comma) you want to be a superadmin. If you only edit the usergroupsid in the database the user won’t have superadmin rights.
Be very carefull although who you give superadmin rights.
