[support] Forms not working!!

[Don]

Have you kept an eye on the reports page (admin/reports/dblog) ? If you 
can get to the watchdog table, you might see the errors in there. That's 
a good place to start. If you can restart the system (do you use cpanel 
or plesk? It should have a restart system link or button) and it works 
for a while, you might be using up memory or all available mysql 
connections. If the only way you can get the system to start again is 
dropping the database and re-installing, the database tables are 
probably being corrupted. I've seen mysql fail before apache if a system 
gets too busy.
