every so often get buffer overload on a user (and have seen on one of my ops)

first and second time .. message "user stays on line"

third time the user is disconnected

I am sure that some one knows what the message means .. look forward to a reply..

ok let me try 2 explain it really simple (hope it's correct).

it's not the scripts.
every client sends data 2 the hub, the hub in return processes that 1 by 1.
if the hub is busy the data is stuffed in a buffer, some temp memory, see it as a bucket and the data is the water which goes in it.
now as you know there only fits a certain amount of water in the bucket, if it gets 2 much the water flows over the edge of the bucket.
tada we have a overflow.
the latest data (water) is lost, not a real problem as the client will send it again if it's important.
but 2 be safe the hub disconnects the client if it keeps happening so it can't cause any real damage.
