I still dont understand this error. Theres 8388608 bytes available. How can it be exausted when trying to allocate 65536 bytes? Which is clearly less than 8388608.

both vbulletin and invision will just tell you that you need to edit your php.ini file to allow 16 mb of memory.

And a person on the vbulletin forums, said that some things are memory intensive, I don't know how ulmb got theres working but no one else can without more php memory.

IPB Say that Invision will run closely to 8mb, so i think just bumping it up to 9mb would acually do the trick.

Because you are already using memory, and allocating *another* 65536 bytes will put you over the limit.
