I don’t seem to be able to delete this but I was just in the wrong instance of the server. so dumb!
it took a couple of restarts but firefix now seems to be working. Guess firefox is just still kinda buggy.
it seems to work in IE but not Firefox. I can’t figure out why though.
I just double checked but there is only one user on the MySQL account. It is the one wordpress logs on to. it has full access to all tables in the database.
