I'm sure some of you are thinking to yourselves "What the hell is going on? The forum never works! Fix it! Fixitfixitfixitfixitfixit!" I guess free services just aren't quite enough. I'm considering being less of a cheapskate and coughing up $10 to make the forum run faster and not face downtime like it is currently. The forum is currently using a free MySQL database (something necessary to keep a phpBB forum up and running) because Cloudflash's host (110mb.com) doesn't give you one for free. But yeah... a one-time fee of $10 will give Cloudflash as many MySQL databases as it will ever need and then the forum will be working whenever the site is working (which is like, 99% of the time).

If it will mean no more proxy errors...

PAY TEH MONEYZ NOOWW

I know I don't post much but whenever I come here the forums don't work or take too long to load, which is why I'm not active anymore. But yea, I hope things get better.

I suppose I might pay if I can figure out how to change the MySQL database. I get this feeling that the support team at phpbb.com either isn't listening to me or they don't like me... or perhaps both. I might have to learn through trial and error...

How do you want to change it? Or do you want to make phpBB use a different database? Either way I can do it myself.

Well, I wanna know what I'm doing before I upgrade my 110mb account so that it can have MySQL databases... I would basically want to make it use the 110mb.com database instead of the db4free.net one. I was just assuming all I needed to do was change the information somewhere and load a backup file of the forum, but now I'm assuming there's more to it since the people at the phpBB.com forum can't seem to give me a straight answer.

For some weird reasons this forums have been working full speed for
me for the past two days. Before I had to wait a lot to load a page.

Well, sometimes the free database works fine, other times it doesn't. It's pretty unpredictable and unreliable... but if Equalsdee knows how to do the database thing and if you guys care about the forum not being painfully slow/freezing, then that can be arranged.
