Wanted to chime back in on this thread for a moment in case anyone else is dealing with slow load time in the forum.
The thing that finally did the trick for us was disabling our security plugin (iThemes) and getting a firewall from sucuri.net ($10/month). We tried most of the major security plugins and they all slowed down our load time and gave us errors on occasion. For sites that have a lot of plugins, it's worth looking at their firewall.
The forum has been zooming ever since...

Thanks for the contribution, some security plugins can definitely do a number on load times..

Oddly - we wrote the small plugin to help a user - decided to offer it and then promptly forgot about it! This was about a year back. It IS going to make an appearance in a few weeks when we rework the website here.
Not swapping the database engine is really not hard. It can be done manually in phpMyAdmin at table level. It was just the two tables referred to that had indexing unsupported by innoDB. I have attached a copy of the plugin you can try. Running it multiple times has no ill-effect although it should just do the job on the first pass. It is a WP plugin and adds an item to the forum menu. When done it should just be deactivated and removed. The plugin is a bit utilitarian by the way - nothing fancy!Make a backup first? Always 🙂
How does this plugin work? Does it make the table change for you?

Firstly it is a WordPress (NOT Simple:Press) plugin and when activated will add a new item at the bottom of the SP Forum admin menu.
If you have the latest version it will ask you whether you want the whole site or just the SP tables converting and then - when you press the 'go' button it will do the conversion for you, It only takes a few seconds,
There may be some conditions where the action id disallowed bit we have not encountered one yet. Also - if any of the tables from plugins have anything defined that is innoDB incompatible then it will leave that table alone.
make a safety backup and give it a try!

Yea, I installed it in WP but haven't activated it yet. Wanted to know how it functions first.
