In the past couple of weeks, members have been reporting general board slowness and the following error:

"PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\users\passport\InetPub\wwwroot\ubb\mysql.inc.php on line 105"

A handful of members have reported this error since we installed threads, but they were all on dial-up and we told them that their connections were too slow. But now lots of people are getting the errors, including those on cable modems, like myself.

Does anyone know what this means, and what I can do about it?

Thanks,

Basically the script took longer than the standard 30 seconds to complete running (due to a slowness on the user's side, or the server side...either way).

You could try a set_time_limit() to temporarily resolve this.

Ok, please forgive me, but I don't know how to do a set_time_limit() -- how do I do it?

Isn't in the php.ini file on Windows? Guys, please correct me if I am wrong.
