P: I get an error when attempting to load a page and it states "MySQL server has gone away".
S: This is an issue with your server and something your host will be the best to help you solve. If you attempt to reload the page/rerun the task you received the error on, it is a possibility that it will be successful. Here are some related links to this specific error:

To add to @Andrej's post... are you using any add-ons that filter/monitor new registrations (anti-spam, etc).... and are they the latest versions?
Does this occur if said add-ons are disabled?

Disabling the Add-ons fixed the problem thank you very much! , I know this isnt related to the first post but i have a question about the database , My database size is currently 120MB , But its growing really fast , How large is too large for a database ?.

When you run out of storage. :LOL:

The size is not the restraining factor that you will run into... it will be your processing power/memory.

Try to figure out which add-on it was. There may be a bug in the code and I'm sure the add-on author would like to know about the problem.
