Has anyone ever had a problem with slowness under admin account only?

YES...that was it...

On my test vBulletin that has a copy of this exact thread, I deleted all the IDs on the coventry list, and now the thread opens just as fast under ADMIN as it does under non-Admin....thanks for helping me pinpoint the problem...it was driving me bonkers!

I probably have close to 400-500 user IDs on my coventry list.

Ouch. Thats insane.

Yes, thats definitely not going to help matters.

I've been running this message board for 14 years...lol...the list has added up over time, and I never really bother to go back and remove them if they never post...I put a user on there after they register and I suspect they may be spam or some other troublemaker...and if they never post, they just remain on the list...if they post and they are valid, then I obviously remove their ID from the list...

But again, THANK YOU for pointing me in the correct direction to solve this problem...now I have a weekend project to prune my coventry list!
