One thing I've noticed about vB3 is that the template cache, well, doesn't work. Nope, it just doesn't work. Why? I don't know, it just doesn't.

Maybe it's the fact that they are custom templates? But why would that matter at all? Say I have this code:
$globaltemplates = array(
'SHOUTBOX',
'shoutbox_shoutbits',
'shoutbox_topshouters',
'shoutbox_editshout',
'shoutbox_deleteshout',
);

Why shout I bother doing that? Those are all the templates that are used, but does that matter? No, because I still end up with 10 queries because it's saying they aren't cached. Why the hell aren't they cached? I put them ti the template cache. Shouldn't that be good enough?

On an unrelated note, what the hell is the permissions array?

That's basically the same thing I did when coding my Shoutbox. I created them as custom templates first. The template cache was similar to the one you're using, and it worked.

Turn on debug mode and check which ones are highlighted in red. (Or is that what you did?)

Ok, good point. It was all the newpost things that was causing all the trouble... You'd think they'd be cached somewhere by default...

They are if you define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', true);

lol, I didn't even notice this - updates some special section of the web site with this :*grin*:
