Your database username is too long. Take off 1 character from it. Sorry but the databases here can only have 16 characters including the underscore (_).

Make a new account with a shorter site name, then use that database with your old site (with long site name)
i finally got my forum installed, i dont know what i did but it worked, but now when i go to my site it wont load at all!
