I havent changed any thing for months. And every thing has worked flawless until last thursday.

All ready after 2 minuts after i send the support ticket to vbulletin.com, they were able to decide that they could do nothing about it, pretty impressive or pretty easy?

Hello Kim,

That error message indicates that mysql is down or otherwise unreachable via a PHP connection. Unfortunately this is not a vBulletin issue, you should get in touch with your webhost.

There might be an addon at vBulletin.org to help you deal with your database error emails.


All the best ..

Im just about to give up, and live whit it! Any sugestions?
