It means the upload part is completing but not the database update part.

Well I can no longer upload the large files after enabling the thumbnails (that picture was huge). Try this. Open notepad and put this into it:
Code:
php_value max_input_time 60
php_value max_execution_time 120

save it as htaccess and upload to your forum's root folder. Rename it .htaccess after having uploaded it. If your forum doesn't come up at all after uploading this file then delete it and try instead to create another file in notepad with the following:
Code:
max_execution_time = 120
max_input_time = 60

save it as php.ini and put it in your forum's root folder. If this works then you should see in the phpinfo.php page a change in both values.


Tried the first thing and got....
(ftp program message)(when atempthing to rename file)
Response: 550 Permission denied on server. You are restricted to your account.

Tried the second thing, uploaded fine but after refreshing phpinfo.php... the same default numbers remain...

max_execution_time 90 90
max_input_time -1 -1

Last thing...try putting the php.ini file in your forum's root folder and see if anything changes.

Wow...you're gonna have to get with Yahoo hosting about this. The current php settings are not being friendly to your forum...

Just describe your problem to them. If they don't know what to do about it then give them some pointers ;-)
