big key there…  your server is failing to complete because its out of cpu time… 30 secs is very low and can be increased in your php.ini file…

Explain me how to..am a noob kinda

and what about picture uploads etc ?

I am not wishing to be rude or difficult but this thread seems to be meandering all over the place from one problem to another without any of them, as far as your replies are concerned, seeming to get fixed.

Also, many of the items you have raised are not related to SP. We help where we can but we need feedback, imformation for SP related questions and others sometimes need to be asked elsewhere.

So can we do just one issue at a time instead of bouncing all over the place?

So – php.ini and timeouts. This you need to discuss with your host.

Well yeah ! I just had the same feeling

Can we fix one issue at a time. To start with the upload issue ?

The Pics badges etc cant be uploaded it says ERROR UPLOADING FILE. and so far I uploaded icons via Filezilla.

but prob is users cant upload Display Pics..so thats a big issue 🙁

Well no – not really. You need to deal with the timeout issue first as that may be the cause.

Okay.. that is regarding fixing the 30 sec limit right ? as Mr.Papa suggested

tweaking the php.ini file ?? where would the file be located?

As I have already said above – you need to talk to your host about this.

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off

expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = “EGPCS”
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = “a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset=”

[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

=================================

I contacted webhost, he said there is no delay time…above I displayed the info in php.ini file as sent by my webhost !! Any changes to be made to this?

you want to look for:

max_execution_time

When one views forum widout logging in whole list of recent posts come…how to disable it ?

instead I want users to see the forum as it is

You need to go through the forum options and decide what you want to display.

I know that Andy, but which specific option is that ?

I was gently trying to encourage you to start looking for what you need instead of keep asking. This way – you get answers much quicker and I get to write some program code.

We tried very hard to break the display options up into sensible sections. Forum display options > 'Forum Settings'. Topic display options > 'Topic Settings' etc. and each sub-section has a popup help button that attempts to describe, explain and advise.

So – new post list appears on the forum listing. So… 'Forum Settings'.

As to what a particular type of user sees and can do > Permissions.

Ya thank you !! got it

Tried around, but missed on that- so asked you for it

Runtime 30 sec error still exists…Is it coz my server is on Windows and it hates php platform?

if you have 30 sec timeout issue, you would likely have that on linux too… pretty small time actually…  have you asked your host about increasing it?  or doing it yourself in your server control panel (ie cpanel)?
