The problem of the trophy imges causing lag don't have anything to do with the forum. Each trophy was an image this size
that was artificially being squeezed small. Some pages had several hundred of those images being loaded every time. That is not good. The only solution is to remove the images or create new small images. The first solution was quicker.
We used to have vBulletin. It is decent. We now have SMF. I hate SMF. In six months or less we will not be using SMF anymore. Not sure what we will be using but vBulletin is not ruled out yet. SMF is though.
