I have moved your posts to the Web Wiz Forums support forum. The error that you have:- Provider Catastrophic failure Is a database error and means there is an issue connecting to your mySQL Database that you are using for your forum. It could be that the database has become corrupted or an issue with the database server. You should contact your website about this issue for them to investigate the issue with the database or database server. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks for your answer. I posted it at website-support. Here is the answer. (translated from Danish)
- This is not correct - database is ok, its the forum that crashes the database-driver.
So, what do I do now?

Unfortunately you are in a bit of a predicament as we know 100% that the fault is not with Web Wiz Forums but an issue with your web hosts servers. If your web host can not address the error then you would need to look for a new host. If this is the case we are able to host your forum on our own servers using one of our http://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums hosting packages or one of our http://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/" rel="nofollow - Windows Hosting Packages if you wanted us to host the whole website. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
