Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

[reefland]

Here is the error message:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /path/to/forum/includes/functions_wysiwyg.php on line 116

Is this another check in addition to the maximum number of characters per post? I currently have that set to 10,000 and when this error came up we were trying to post a very long thread however it only contained 4597 characters without spaces.

Just reading through some other threads on this issue and it was recommended to increase the max time in php however should it really take that long to write 4600 characters?

Thanks for the information xiphoid. Just thanking you here while I edit.

Just curious,
Scott Z.

This has been in beta 2 and 3 and now still in 4.

I don't think it is the character length that loops, but the preg_regex that tries to do something with parsing of vb code tags within font tags or the other way around.

I have no problem with mucho text in posts, but when I edit them, and add some fonts and press submit, it b0rks.

You can bypass it by not using the wysiwyg editor. I did receive a lot of lag before the post was finally posted, but it didn't give the above warning.

How much formatting did the post have?

Try posting it here in the test forum, with the WYSIWYG editor. If it doesn't work, email me what you were going to post (with formatting, so you'll need to do HTML mail. In this case, Outlook would probably the easiest way to save the formatting)

I sent it to you via e-mail due to some semi-sensitive information contained. Just FIA the formatting brought the total to 8,271 characters.

Thanks,

Received and it appears to send the WYSIWYG parsing code (mine ) into an infinite loop of some sorts.

Is that some sort of bug?
