As you may have noticed I have reprogrammed the stats integration in the forums. This is designed to hopefully reduce server load and load times. Previously the stats data was literally image files which the server had to dynamically generate on the fly for every page load. The new system allows for the data to be sent directly with no post processing. In addition the data is not cached for 60seconds but that may be increased in the future to fine tune the benefits.

Please post comments below
