Problem Description:
In my index2.php file, I have this line.

Code Select Expand

<? include("http://machinemess.singaporeanimenews.net/YaBBSE/index.php?action=news&board=1"); ?>


However, when I access the index2.php, there is a very long delay, followed by these errors.

Accessing the forum directly poses no problem. The problem only arises when I try to view the latest topics via the news this way.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

I did some experimenting and discovered something.

Accessing the news url directly via the browser by pointing it to

http://machinemess.singaporeanimenews.net/YaBBSE/index.php?action=news&board=1

Gives the latest topics instantly.

However, if the line

<? include("http://machinemess.singaporeanimenews.net/YaBBSE/index.php?action=news&board=1"); ?> resides in the calling php file, I have to wait more than 1 minute before anything appears, and all that appears are the above error messages.


Does anyone know what's going on here?

Do it as @include and see if that works.

I've checked out the error log and this is what it reported.

If you check out my board, access is very very slow when I click on threads. Viewing the thread index is fast enough.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Turn off Avatar sizing, turn off physical image sizing, clear out your click log table completely, clear out your activity log, clear out your error log, optimize your database.  That should speed it all up for you.
