Paid help needed for upgrading TP and SMF

[IchBin]

TP has always been optimized. The latest versions offer more features and bug fixes. That doesn't mean it will be less overhead on your server though. That can depend on a lot of things. Like what kind of Blocks and block codes you are using. How much people use the shoutbox etc. There are a lot of factors in this.

www.pde.gr is the site
Shoutbox is not too crowd but I dont mind if it needs to be disabled. Is it too heavy for the server?

Is the TinyPortal copyright included anywhere?
So far I'm not seeing it.

I never remove the copyrights. As you can see there is the copyright to SMF. I dont know why the Tiny Portal copyright is not visible.

Probably because you have a custom theme and the one who made it didnt add it in the index.template.php file.

This seems reasonable. In the update, we will add it.

You definitely need to update your forum. TinyPortal is still OK at TP 0.9.8 if you want to wait for the next beta version. However, I guess a few questions should be asked. What is your hosting plan currently? How much space and bandwidth do you get? Are you on a shared hosting account? Your site looks busy enough that it may require a bigger plan IMO.

I have dedicated server, maybe the best hardware that can be. (Intel Clovertown technology with 8 CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 10k SAS HDs, etc...)
The fact is that I host another busy forum in the server but it doesnt cause any problem. Only www.pde.gr causes problems.

You can upgrade to SMF 1.1.7 in steps with patches from admin panel. TP and in most cases mods are not usually affected this way.

TP upgrade to 1.0 is a major upgrade, I see customization in your site. For large sites it should be better to wait for a more stable and debugged version of TP 1.0 and do a major general upgrade reinstalling mods.

I can't switch language or theme in your site, TP copyright could be omitted by a mistake in theme customization. It has to be there.

BTW in Greek SMF support board there is also TP support in Greek.

When was the last time you carried out SMF Forum Maintenance? Optimise the tables sometimes helps, you may have already done this.
