Last night we had as many members on TMS as we possibly could to this point to see how well it handles all the action. For about 6 or 7 hours it worked like a charm. We had several LONG Instant Message sessions going for many hours. But then we started getting the message that I was dreading seeing all evening long. It states that my accounts CPU limit has been reached. I was able to reload the IM window itself and keep on messaging but the Pal List didn't come back on until after I went to sleep and probably well after that as two of the other members that were on are still logged in even though I know that they're asleep right now hah

This problem is with the server's configuration and how much CPU it allows anything in any particular account to use up. Not that that is a bad thing but it may not happen on all servers that would have The Mercury System hosted on it. But as a programmer you have to expect that it will happen to everyone that runs it. I want to contact the company and see exactly how much memory has to be used up before this message appears and then try to see what in the script is causing this to happen. It may lead to a complete rewrite of the Pal List script to see where it is eating up all of the CPU memory.

Will report back later with any findings.

Wow...6-7 hrs.? I don't think I was any of them, right? We only talked for...I dunno, not THAT long. =P

where were you seeing that message (that your CPU limit was reached)?

Now I feel bad for not being on that much.... :/ I never get to see anything.

I've seen the message on more than one occasion, but you already knew that.

I find that if you go back to the login screen for the pal list, the message will go away. You basically have to shut all the boxes which is what I do...hehe
