"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/legendso/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php on line 2126"
I get that error every time I try and load my PMs. It started yesterday, if I remember correctly.
I find it odd you're the only one getting this issue, from what I read that error is caused by a PHP script timing out, which I would assume would affect the entire site to a degree(or anyone accessing their PMs)...
I would try some client-side fixes first, like perhaps trying to clear your cache, etc, in case that's what it is, or try with a different browser?
I'm running Firefox and I don't have any issues with my PMs(although I only have like 6.....)
If the issue persists any anyone thinks this is a server side issue in regards to the "Max_Execution_time" setting, from what I read on a SMF support forum, either increasing the Max_execution_time variable or the Max_input_time variable in the php.ini file "should" fix the issue, but i'm not thinking that's required to fix it, idk X3
It might have something to do with my internet itself... Although I did have 19 pages worth of PMs... WHICH JUST MIGHT, Just MAYBE, be the culprit... :P I'll mess around with it, since it won't even work on my iPhone, which uses Safari, and on my laptop I use Firefox.
19 pages?! That might be the problem. You may want to delete any pms you no longer need/use, and then see how it goes.
Just found out that Coffee Rush has 76 pages... And no problem... And I've cleared my cache and that didn't help, I'm still getting the same error. And it takes a long time for it to load as well, so something is causing it to go really slow....
WELP! I found a temporary fix... Apparently it was a single message on that page that was causing an error. It might of been too big or something, but now that I've moved onto a new page, I can view my messages again. yay!
i think it may be something else b/c I have 39 pages of PM which I don't bother with them and I haven't come across that problem and I'm using dial-up too
if it is only happening on a certain page because of a certain message then it might be a server error though I dont know a fix for it
I know we have gotten server errors on certain post before and because of the server error the topic can be kind of messed up
(From the very little understanding I have on this subject)
The max_execution_time code makes it so any PHP scripts running at any time won't run for longer than a specified duration, most likely to manage server resources(multiple scripts running for too long). What it sounds like to me is it's taking longer than 30 seconds for the site to load your PMs(or perhaps a certain large one) and the script is timing out.
If cleaning out some of your PMs doesn't solve the problem a web admin will have to make changes to the php.ini file(if they have access to it, some hosts don't allow it), or try bypassing the php.ini file with their own script?
As stated in my previous post if it's a serverside issue increasing the Max_execution_time variable or the Max_input_time variable MAY fix the issue, assuming my intel is right as I really don't know alot about PHP. I would suggest cleaning out some of your unnecessary PMs and seeing if that helps/fixes the issue.
This sounds like the contents of that PM got handled by SMF's parser incorrectly and it most likely ran into an infinite loop, or something similar, somewhere in the PHP. It's impossible to know exactly what the issue is unless we can get the contents of that PM.
It's on the 15th page now, but it won't load and I can't even delete it. If a message is 20k chars, could that cause a problem?
I don't know if that would cause a problem. As far as I know I've only come across that when posting in the forums.

20k characters is a lot...

Twenty thousand characters is approximately 125 lines. Believe it or not, that's actually not as much as you'd think. It would take hundreds of thousands of more lines for the server to not be able to handle it in 30 seconds. Even if the message was 30k characters, that means that the server is only processing less than 1,000 characters a second. That is very, very slow for modern servers. It's more likely to be a bug in the way the server tries to handle the message, I.E. the PHP parser.
Mystery solved, gang. :]
