Yes, it is set to 8M in php.ini and the edit users page works fine. I've
enabled
the access right to that page on your account in case you need to test it
online..

BTW, what exact error message do you get for the error?
If it is really an issue of the memory limit setting in php, you would
probably get
a 'Fatal error' message that php generates. If not, it might be an error
reported by mysql.

Thanks and regards,
