I’ve just moved a forum from BradPPresents.com to BradP.com. May not be SFW.

It’s located at forum.bradp.com.

I’m getting a Database connection error, despite being absolutely sure about the username and password of the database.

Here’s the VBulletin Configuration file, with the username and password masked.
