Re-uploaded vB_Competitions 2.6.1 .zip. Just re-upload the competitions.php if you are currently running 2.6.1

Ladder appears to be working but when i create a tournament I get the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /home/revvin/public_html/vbtest/includes/class_dm_user.php on line 2480

It fails to create the tournament but still automatically makes the announcement post in my tournaments announcement forum. This happened in v2.5.8 and v2.6.1

That error is not a error with the hack that is a server issue, you need to increase your MB edit your PHP.ini file to allow more if unsure contact your host.

Thanks, will go and hit him now :up: Just seemed odd that earlier versions the tournaments worked fine
