Re: FIXED - Avatar Sizes
-----------------------------------
[quote user="JasonTheReaper" post="15275"]Hi MG.
I think that the problem is in getimagesize function:

[code linenumbers=false]$pic_size = @getimagesize($avatar_url);[/code]

Probably that function try to connect to all avatars websites and if there is at least one website slow the page is very very slow...
I think also that resize_avatar() function is not needed because when you set an avatar in your profile there is already a dimension control...[/quote]

Your english is not bad... :wink:

You got the point: the getimagesize function on some servers is tremendously slow, and I can't understand why... that's why I have removed it. I can add a switch for enabling it on fast servers... I'll think about it.

Thanks


[quote user="JasonTheReaper" post="15275"]OT: Users are disappointed by website response but I think is a server performance problem. Before I use PHP-Nuke (2004 version) modded by me and we have the same problem. We reach a 350 mb database... I choose your project because is wonderful! Do you suggest me a quick and good price hosting? thanks and congratulations[/quote]
I'm using Aruba on shared server since 2001 and I'm really satisfied with them. I had just few problems, but I get them solved with some patience... If you are able to configure fine your applications, shared servers are fine and cheap. If you think you need an higher level of service, of course you have to switch to a virtual or a dedicated server...
