This may sound like a stupid question but I just don't want to make a huge mistake!

Basically I want to change the password of the database used for my forums.

I know how to do that, but I want to know what I need to do in threads and when.
For example, do I turn off the forums, change the database password and then immediately after change the password in the threads admin?
(Will the forums disappear in the short time between doing those 2 things?)

Thank you!

Change the password with your webhost (however they allow you to change it) then edit includes/config.inc.php with the new password.

So I should not do that in control panel?

Can you give me an idea of what to expect online between the two - will the forums just be page not found until I make the second change (to the forums settings)?

Thank you

you will get the 'unknown UBB error that only Admins can see' kinda dealio until config.inc.php matches up with the new psw..
