    Could I get a Critique Please

    Hey guys,

    I've been doing quite a bit of work on Denim DNA Forum ~ An Authentic Denim Forum lately. I moved it to a VPS and now have 1/10th to 1/20th the load we had at Hostgator and installed vBSEO as well. I'm hoping to get some thoughts from you guys. I'm going away on vacation for a few weeks but when I get back I'm hiring a theme designer to make a custom theme and logo.

    Thanks in advance,

    Reid

    Yeah, they are a fairly active bunch. Some days we hit 1k posts per day, minimum is around 500 posts per day.

    Anyone else have any thoughts?

    Put in a new theme. Do the server speeds seem slow to anyone?

    Yep, agreed. I have better speeds with some shared hostings and some websites that I know that are using a shared hosting have faster speeds than this!

    Overall, it's a great community, especially with so little members and so many posts BUT you really need to optimize your forums somehow or just get another virtual server, because this is SLOW.

    How do you put pictures to the left of forum names?
