Our new and improved Spell Checker is installed in all of our fully functional styles now.  It is totally based here on our site and uses our own English dictionary, so there are no longer any annoying ads and the performance seems to be greatly enhanced over the old Spelling Cow spell checker that we used to use.  Check it out.  Our new Spell Checker seems to do a pretty damn good job...

Excellent job NR! Thanks a bunch. Works absolutely great!

I just hope that the site will get a little faster in the future, but that may not be within your power to change...

Rb and I have been talking about this issue and there aren't any easy answers.  We don't know for sure whether the bulk of the performance issue is with our host or in the phpBB code.  I could spend a great deal of time looking for ways to improve the performance of our community and never really make any noticeable improvements.  I'm not sure I'm prepared to make that type of time and energy investment at this point that may not provide any marked results...

Most of our forum pages need to do a whole lot work before they can load.  There are a bunch of queries that need to run every time a page is loaded or refreshed.  If I could figure out how best to optimize some of the queries, or even remove them without messing things up, the pages would probably load much faster.  I am learning a lot as I go and more and more of the php and Javascript code is making more sense to me every day, so maybe in the near future I can try to tackle the performance issues on our board too...

I do know SQL very well so I have a leg up on that part of this issue.  The only thing is that the SQL code has subtle differences from database to database type, so my "improved" query attempts will also be a trial and error process that could provide far more failures than successes.  I'm not sure that many would be happy with a community that may go down on a regular basis while I experiment with the queries or might not come up with the desired results even if the pages do load...
