 * Hello,
 * I have many year, MANY year experience with different types of bulletin-boards.
   Now, if you’re looking to find a good software to use, I would definitely go 
   with vBulletin, or XenForo, or even IP.Boards.
 * I can give you a list of boards you can use, I would recommend opening the forum,
   not in wordpress, but in a different directory on your site.
 * **Free Forum Software’s**:
 * MyBB
    PHPbb Simple Machines SimpleBoard
 * **Paid Forum Software’s**:
 * vBulletin
    XenForo IP.Board
 * **NOTE:** I’ve listed these softwares first to last, meaning the best one first.
   They’re all good softwares though.

 * I’m not sure what you’re really asking here. But if you switched host, it would
   be a different host name – NOTE: Not all host names are localhost. Call, open
   a support ticket, or even look for yourself in your hosting dashboard, and maybe
   under (MySQL Databases, or PHPMYadmin), they probably have a different host name.
 * e.x;
 * 000webhost (free hosting provider) – There hostnames are usually mysql1.000webhost.
   com thru mysql16.000webhost.com
    HostGator (paid hosting provider) – There hostnames
   are localhost all the time,
 * again, have a look, or open a support ticket to see what your host name is, if
   this isn’t the problem, then again – support ticket, ask them what is wrong with
   the images that aren’t posting / showing up. It could be a problem on there end.

 * Hmmm, if you were trying to update your website, from an older version, to the
   current version which is 3.8.1 I believe, and once you clicked update your site
   in the admin panel (dashboard as you would say) and your site (admin panel) is
   not coming up. Go into your hosting cPanel, >> File Manager >> (Your WordPress
   Directory) – There should be a file, I am not sure what it’s called right now,
   but I am 80% sure it’s called – .MAINTENANCE – if you see this file – delete 
   it.
