Just to add Giz.
The island seems to be hit or miss to update between 2hours to a few minutes, but eventually it will update. However clearing cache or re-saving the island will update it immediately.
I don't have ftp access but checking in the ubb control panel ,permissions pass, cache settings are like 5 minutes for the island and wol is like 10.
he says he has not hacked any scripts except for what iassic told him for flushing page views in the login file and some style css settings.
Now he does have a few html includes using extenral stuff such as wol in the footer.
I have cleaned up a bit and ran all the rebuilders which helped the slow board. but this is still the issue.
I suggested to setup a virgin test board on the site to see if it is a script/library file or possibly a host server issue.
At this point I gave up.
Bill has posted that the chmod is 664 so possibly this maybe the cause.
