"This PHP environment doesn't have Improved MySQL (mysqli) support built in. Improved MySQL support is required if you want to use a MySQL 4.1 (or later) database to run this forum. Consult the PHP documentation for further assistance" sad

Re: MySQL problem

On what page this error appeared? Ensure that PHP of your hosting provider support MySQLi.

Re: MySQL problem

My hosting company was updating PHP 5.2.26 to PHP 5.2.8  & MySQL 4.1.22 to MySQL 4.1.22_1 today and forum went offline with that message you saw while they were doing it.

On all pages of entire forum I had that message (and nothing else).

General Question: Is there no way for them to do such updates without entire forum going offline? (I asked them and they reckoned NO)

[found this post googling the error]
