@Digital Doctor I did read it.... but its a little over my head so I will refer it on to my host.
I am running PHP 5.3.3 by the way http://www.paintballer.ie/phpinfo.php

You're running MySQL 5.0, but your PHP MySQLi extension is compiled against MySQL 4.1. You'd need to update the MySQLi bindings to fit with your MySQL version. This is something your host should be able to do. This generally shouldn't happen unless the server has been updated piecemeal over time.
(This isn't something we can detect and it's possible that this error is simply masking another error.)

I just realized that your MySQL server is separate from your PHP server. That's how that could happen. Strictly speaking you could create a MySQL 4 DB but that's below our minimum requirements. Your host really needs to update their MySQL bindings in PHP. (AFAIK, newer ones should generally work with older servers but not necessarily vice version.
(It's worth noting that the last update to MySQL 4.1 was 2008 and MySQL 5.0 has been considered production ready since 2005...)

Its not that simple as I have a few websites email accounts with this host. When I ran the test script with Xenforo and it gave the all clear... I would have thought that I would not have needed to move host for it to work without errors.
I wasn't really suggesting that YOU compile it (unless you had root access). It's something they should be doing for you because they've set themselves up with incompatible libraries. There are more details of what's happening here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1786654/mysqli-server-returned-unknown-type-246
Unfortunately, as I noted, it's not something that's easy to detect as in the vast majority of cases things like this will never come up -- this is definitely the first time I've ever seen it in terms of XF -- and accessing new servers with old clients is bound to potentially create problems like this. The issue isn't one that we can do anything to workaround; it's simply down to the library mismatch. All they need to do is make sure that PHP is actually using the libraries that correspond to the MySQL server version that they're connecting to.
