You should start your own thread. At vb.com if this isn't an error having to do with a modification. I will tell you very quickly: "MySQL server has gone away" is a common error on oversold shared servers. Check the CPU loads in cpanel and AdminCP.

"MySQL Server has gone away" is a server issue. See this: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/t...mysql_goneaway and this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...265#post310265

I have just recently also gotten the SERVER HAS GONE AWAY message...

As I said, it can be a common error, unlike the first one you posted. I've never seen a syntax error caused by server load.

But you're never going to solve it if you don't give more information in a timely fashion. When someone asks direct questions, if you want them to continue helping you have to drop whatever tangent your on and answer the questions quickly.
