That's the lesson here kids:

Never trust a free host (especially with a vBulletin!)

I'd suggest you relocate your board to another, paid host where you can receive at least decent support and service.

Kids? How old are you Gary?

Not too old; and no, I don't have kids of my own, if that's what you were wondering ;)

Are you sure about the kids of your own? ;) And how old is not too old, may I ask?

Yep I'm sure about the first part. For the age part, that will never be revealed, unless you know me personally ;)
