mysql error: User [email protected] has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

your max connections have been reached

[Richy T.]

but i don't have that many people on it at the moment. i have had 37 online at once but it comes up when i have 3 or 4 on there also.

do i need to contact my server?

The 'max_user_connections' is for the entire server - not just your forums. You can try turning persistent connections off in your config.php:

// use persistant connections to the database
// 0 = don't use
// 1 = use
$usepconnect = 0; 

But if you still have problems after that, all you can do is ask your host to raise the maximum number of connections they allow.
