Memory

[wwe]

I understand there is an 8MB memory limit around here, but I was just wondering, what happens if we somehow want to add something more and we're already bordering the 8MB limit?

Will it just not work or will the site somehow crash? Or what?

I think it outputs an error along the line of Memory Limit Exceeding or something, it use to occur while trying to install mediawiki but they had it smaller than.

Alright, well I guess I shouldn't do anything anymore because I'm getting close to the limit....

If that error occurs, how would I be able to get back onto my site and disable what ever I did? Because I'm currently using MyBB and to install a mod, you upload the file and click "activate", it's not like phpBB where I edit the files my self.

Dang....I better watch it then......and keep backups in case that happens...

What makes you think you are getting close to the limit?

The memory limit is 16mb not 8mb

Oh wow, I did a search and only found it was 8MB. Wow thanks for clearing that up Eric! Woo! I thought I was getting way too close lol.
