My internet genious fellers come out to save the day here.,
I’ve been up my hosting services butt about this problem, they told me it was the forum script, so I reuploaded the whole thing in case something had gotten corrupted.
At the same time though they said that another site on the server I am hosted on has been crashing the server and they have not been able to figure out which one.
Basically I’ve been battling with my hosting company over where the problem lies.
It’s a pia.
