Any more details? Are any images loading? What version are you using?

could this be done with database flag in the settings or something

9da4811c6f8b9f45ea1faf391077eaf1fdbe149e should work to stop multiple instances from running

OK I have replaced the database lock with a file lock that seems to be the most recommended way to deal with the problem

Yeah your right

Probably better to update the whole of the PHPMailer script seems the one we currently use is pretty out of date
