Ask your host to increase the value of max_allowed_packet in MySQL.

They said that it wasn't possible to do that as it's a shared hosting :/

Then it's time to find a new host.

Yeah unfortunately many shared hosting companies have a lot of limitations.
In case you do look for a new host, be sure to ask them before hand if such values can be changed or what the default values are.

If you need a recommendation: I'm very satisfied with stablehost.com.
In case your forum is big, you may want to consider getting a VPS instead of shared hosting.

All right thanks for your help guys!

Yep, exactly or purchase a different plan that allows for the proper set up. Although if it were me I'd go to another host. There are lots of good ones that do not cost much that do not have a problem in helping with these types of matters.
