Thanks for your replys. I re-ran the merge system, and it worked properly this time. The merge system only works for version 1.6 BTW. And yes I was referring to the PHP mem limit. We have 12 gigs of ram on the server
I advise you to not let the board get so outdated in future if you can help it. 1.4 is considered old now, 1.2 is considered ancient, but 1.1.7, that's in it's own class.
