    When I used the search function today, it gave me the following error:

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/kwun/www/forums/search.php on line 956

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    The words I used in search was: "badminton central" :p

    So, I thought about it, I used "MP-99", which gave me results fine,:)

    Then, I used "badminton central" again, then, it gave me above error again. :rolleyes:

    So, I used "Yonex Muscle Power", "MP-100", "MP-99", "AT-800", and they are all fine, only the key words "badminton central" gave me this error, and I have tried this over and over, and it's the same.

    PS: "Yonex Muscle Power" is longer than "badminton central" in length, it can not be the length problem.

    Anyone wants to try? :D See if you would get the same error!!

    I tried it and encountered the same error.

    The strange thing is that you are likely to hit the error if your search criteria has the word "badminton" in it.

    I guess the word "badmintion" is too common, therefore, there are many threads in relation to "badminton". That might be why we get an error.

    As dave18 said, i assume it is beacuse there is a maximum capacity for the amount of displayed thread (8388608??), so if the number of threads is that great, then it may go over that limit. However I am a computer person, but i didnt think that many "bytes" was a lot?


    If you want to refine your search a bit, then maybe just search for "badminton central" on forum at a time!!!!!!! hope you find what you need!!!!haha

    glad to say that unlike SkyNet, world destruction is not imminent despite the fact that BC is now self aware.
