not the upgrade as such..but before simplepress i tried wordpress forum server plugin..which shares same tables as that of wordpress. when i deactivate it..of course it will not drop/truncate the tables..unlike simplepress..(what this plugin makes different from all)..so i guess it could be some problem…but m not sure how to solve thisnow..

because till now i was testing..and i nned to cleanup everything and start the real forum..

can you help me the tables i should truncate along with WP…if i want to manually delete the data from database?

just a genuine question..if i uninstall SPF.. all my settings for the same will also be erased. I want only the posts,topics and groups to be erased for all the members.

So this is nothing but cleanup the complete users' data and start posting fresh with new set of real users.

Let me be frank..you guys are doing great job not only providing the solution but supporting it pretty well. Such open source tool deserves appreciation.

Thank you for your suggestion. I could prune the Database to erase all topics and posts and updated posts column in sf_members to 0. I can start my forum with scratch now.

Regarding performace, i agree that the cheap web host can be one of the culprits making it slow. But i also found, if the default editor selected is "TinyMCE", the required files (js,css and php) gets downloaded while going to topic or post view which takes lot of time..for me it takes 14 secs if not cached.

Correct me if i am wrong, these files are used only when member tries to add new topic/post/reply post right? Then why dont we include these files dynamically when there is a request for either of these? Why do we need to include this while going to the page?

Moreover, can you tell me if there are any other methods to make my forum fast?

Thank you for the quick response.

My browser is caching the js..not an issue. But load time is really high for the very first time.

I got your question.

I believe, there should be option whether to load this js while topic/post view pages load or when there is a need. This option can be in the componenets edit toolbar section.

See, loading the js initially when topic/post pages load makes sense when your forum do not have sufficient posts/contents by which the users will get their questions/doubts clarified. So there will be lot of new topics/posts creation. So, it will be really fast user experience while creation.

Once you have sufficient contents, SPF admin can turn the js loading option to load when needed like while creation of new topic/post. While doing so, you need not reload the page or open in a anew window. You can always include the required files into the head section of the page dynamically to have it for the creation functionality.

What are your thoughts?

NOTE: I really want this tool not only to be rich ui based but more efficient and usable.
