Fatal error when loging on to the Shack?

Hi guys, Today for about an hour (between 2 and 3pm Mountain time) I have been receiving this message or ones like it:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 10485760 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/homethea/public_html/openads/lib/OA/Maintenance/Statistics/AdServer/Task/SummariseFinal.php on line 80

And a blank white screen and have not been able to log in at all. Do we have a problem with the server?

Yeah... we did, but it should be fixed now.

We upgraded MySQL and PHP and after upgrading PHP we forgot to increase the memory size. Once that was done we came alive.

I had been away from the computer for a while, so I did not catch it very quickly.

Hopefully we are good to go now.

Thats good to hear, This forum and all thats attached to it is growing so fast that it must really be stretching the server?
I am a member of a Railroad simulator program for the PC and two years ago their forum crashed so badly that they lost everything and were never able to get any of the old posts back so they had to start from scratch.

vBulletin is on version 3.8 now... which they recommended upgrading MySQL and PHP when they went to 3.6. Once they go to 4.0, they will no longer support older versions of MySQL and PHP like we were running. I felt like we needed to go ahead and upgrade now and iron out the problems, if any.
