Did you create a new DB with the webhost and import your recent DB into it?

How about the user name with new webhost? All details correct?

Another thing, when you created the new DB, did you make sure that you created the new user and assigned the new user to the DB?

In your config.php file, make sure you have a valid email in this spot:

$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = 'dbmaster@example.com';

Then the database error should get emailed to you and then you can let us know what the real error is.

I actually didn't check to see if that was the case. That's pretty lame. I'm beginning to wonder if I've picked a bad web host now. Damn it.

If that is the error, then you've got real problems. It is saying the table "thread" doesn't exist. Can you see that table in your database?

Real problems? Oh no.

I'm not sure where to look for the database.

In phpmyadmin you can look there, you should find that in cPanel if you are on a shared server, or in the WHM if it is a VPS or dedi server.
