I can live that simplepress forum is loading slower than BBpress, SMF, BBphp forum. What I am really missing is validation. All of the above are validated but simplepressforum. I count 15 errors. As much as I like your forum I am saying good by till will pass validation without one error.

That's fine.

I assume you mean XHTML validation. Validation checks on the codebase are run regularly. We also test all views with php debug on and even clean those warnings up.

I would welcome a PM listing the validation errors you have seen plus a note on which tool you used to check with.

As to speed - bbPress is always going to be faster but that is because it is designed specifically to be a simplistic, basic bb system with no real feature set. It s good at what it does. the others you mentioned are all standalone forums that do not have to work alongside the WP codebase and are therefore focused on being a forum. This is a WP plugin.

Is there any way to speed up the forums?  Do having too many wordpress plugins going slow this down?  I would like it to be as fast as vbulletin.  [Image Can Not Be Found]

Well we would all like it to be as 'fast as vbulletin' but there are lot's of things that will effect performance. vbulletin is a dedicated forum that doesn't have to live side by side with Wp and other plugins. That makes a big difference. Anyway - there are some performance notes on our wiki you may like to take into account.

And, of course, you can always come join in and help us out with coding.
