Hi since I updated to the latest version of K2 I experience very slow saving. It can even take minutes to save. In average is 30 to 40 seconds. This happens only at front end. However, when I click on save, I look at the backend and the records (Item, Tags) are there, however front end seems to wait for something...I have Joomla 1.5.20 and the latest mootools.Please help!

Hi,
I want to point out that same delay happens also at the back end. I have tried to optimize the K2 tables, however I had no improvement.
Any ideas?

Any ideas why this happens?

Anybody???

It has been my experience that a simple item will save much faster than one with an image, a gallery, and or a video and attachments. If you are using an image or gallery you should prepare the image to be just larger than the larges size you will display before using it. There are some times like photographers that like big images, but this is an exception

Same thing happens even if I just select the category and just add a title.

when article has images then it is understandable, but if only text should SAVE faster and at least there should be some notification to user  ex: rotating gif file with text saying "your article is beeing saved, please wait...." and once its completed a better resposne from system or even close that window.
