Is that plug-in a WordPress plug-in or a Firefox plug-in?

Thanks @FIQ

NextGen was only installed last week because we wanted to publish a photo gallery. The install and activation of NextGen really had little to no impact on the site — it was already trudging along […]

@Travel-Junkie

BP still running very slow.

Continuing to search for solutions…

W3 Total Cache caused my site to performance more poorly than Hyper Cache did.

Backing out W3TC and re-installing HC.

Ughh… this is so frustrating because we have put a lot of work and effort into our […]

Thanks @PaulGibbs

I will look into object cache shortly.

In meantime, I want to install W3 Total Cache. I have read where too many plugins can drag down a WP/BP Site (not sure if that is just active plugins […]

Hi @PaulGibbs — any thoughts or insights based on the answers I provided to your questions?

@PaulGibbs:

9 Groups: I looked at the number of rows in the bp_groups MySQL Table and there are 9 rows. That happens to match the Groups counter value when I go to the Groups page in my BP site.
