It appears to be working though:

vbStopForumSpam Log Viewer (page 1/73) | There are 1,092 total log entries.

We reduced the CURL timeout (8 seconds I think) in the SFS plugin code to get around it.

I assume your MySQL timeout is 30 seconds which most shared hosts setup.

I get that error, too.

AusPhotography, is that a solution to the error shown?
I have emailed to get the details checked so I can use StopForumSpam.
It's working perfectly on another forum we have.
This forum is new as the previous was messed up and got deleted. It worked there, too.
