CSS, memory, servers - out of my depth

Post by judeabb »

Imagine my horror when, without any interference from me, my CMSMS sites started displaying incorrectly. I am not a techie but I was able to work out that it was something to do with the CSS as it clearly wasn't diplaying properly. I brought it u with my webhosting people and the conclusion they eem to have come to is :

Our server software was recently updated which now limits such resources as memory and CPU, this is designed to stop one account causing the server to crash or perform slowly, it is this memory limit that your account was triggering.

So, I'm inadvertently triggering some sort of memory overload to do with my stylesheets and I have no idea how to solve it. Is there a workaround - I hope so, as I'm stuck with sites that look dreadful at the moment.

Also, it's inconsistent. Sometimes the page loads correctly, but if you refresh it it goes to the no CSS version.

This is the main site I'm talking about:
http://www.raiseyourbanners.org

Any help or advice would be fantastic.

Well here I am replying to my own post!
I've worked out that the problem is when stylesheet.php generates the stylesheets - this is when the memory allowance overload thing happens.
So on the http://www.raiseyourbanners.org site I've got round that by saving the stylesheets as CSS files and linking to them in the template head.
This is fine on this site because I've finished messing with the CSS files, but it still doesn't solve the problem of sites I am working on not displaying properly while the stylesheets are generated by the stylesheet.php. Is there a way to work round this?
