Hello all

Another issue is about message size. The nntp.php proccess seams to use huge amounts of memory, probably reading all messages into memory before inserting them into the forum. Could this be improved in a memory saving way?

Uhm, this seams to be realy serious. not only nntp.php does end itself:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes) in /home/forum/FUDforum/include/theme/default/wordwrap.inc on line 66
Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 0 bytes)

the message is not gated and nntp.php tryes every time it is started and never manages to proccess further messages. So this is practicly a DOS attack against the NNTP-Gateway of FUDForum.
