Just logging in I got this:
MySQL error: Got error 12 from storage engine, occured in query: "SELECT name, value FROM global WHERE name='appvars'".
ERROR: No global variables detected. Exiting.
Then after a few retries I got in. But when I tried to come to the community forum to report it, I got it again.
Personally, I thought global variables were generally a bad thing. Pretty ornery software you have there, DEMANDING to use global variables.
LOL HAHAHAH
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Took me twelve tries to post that - kept getting the same error.

Doesn't anybody know how to write atomic transactions any more? Jeez.

Yup, that's PHP for you. There's a good reason I don't like PHP.
It is possible to make a clean web app in PHP. Even in PHP4. But the language really invites sloppy programming, security flaws and so on. That's why I prefer JSP and ASP.NET. PHP5 is a step in the right direction, but it isn't there yet.
Same goes for MySQL. Version 5 is a step in the right direction, but it's still not ANSI92 compliant - in 2006, for cripes' sake! That's why I prefer a REAL database engine, like Oracle or MS SQL Server.
About atomic transactions - those are not supported in the default MySQL storage engine. The transactional engine, InnoDB, is at least ten times as slow as MyISAM, not good for this site which is already much slower than it should be.
Oracle has always been a company that bled its customers dry, but they have released a free version of their database engine last year. Don't know the exact specs and terms of use, but moving to Oracle (we're talking a Linux system here, so MS SQLServer is out of the question) would be a VERY good move.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter

doesn't oracle buy competing companies (selling competing databases) on a regular basis, then bury them? one of their founders (larry) recently rescinded a $112 millions donation to harvard (the U.C. berkeley of the east) :lol:

I have never liked Oracle as a company. Microsoft gets blasted for none to neat business practices, but Oracle is (was?) much worse. But their database engine is very, very good.
