Forum loading excruciatingly slowly

[Petie]

I'd rather not have file paths directly visible when it can be avoided.

You should probably tell PHP not to do that, then.

Unfortunately, MyBB has its own error handler that I don't have a whole lot of control over. I turned off all display of errors which should hopefully prevent that from happening in the future but the forum software can be a bit particular when you mess with its errors so we'll see what happens.

Edit:
Yup, as I feared, hiding MyBB's errors and warnings breaks the main site unfortunately.
