Re: How to deal with blank Pages or only header shown
-----------------------------------
I have checked your site, and I'm not 100% sure... but 90%... that your problem is related to the number of subforums... :shock:

It is not good having hundreds of subforums... users won't ever be familiar with all those subsections. Anyway it is your site, and you are free to organize it as you like.

The problem in having so many subforums is that for each forum many informations are stored and are retrieved while posting and while browsing topics... for each forum permissions are tested and stored in memory... if you have hundreds, then you have hundred of checks, and the system could run out of memory, and sometimes showing up white pages.

My advice is:
[list][*]Make a full backup
[*]Check that your backup is correct
[*]Make another DB backup using a different way just to make sure you don't have to recreate manually all those categories
[*]Trim subforums until you reach maximum 40 / 50 forums
[*]Try again to create new topics / posts[/list]

If you really need all those subforums... you may consider moving to another system because Icy Phoenix is not optimized to have so many subcategories. phpBB 3 should be able to manage all of them correctly.
