Yes, switch hosts. Yahoo has to be one of the worst ones out there. I was suckered by the supposed combination of WP on Yahoo, but so far the non-existent technical support and down time leaves one with quite a bad experience. There is a growing list of complaints about their poor service.

I’ve experienced the same problem: “Unable to establish database connection”. It has absolutely nothing to do with WP or plugins. It’s simply poor service and uptime provided by Yahoo. I couldn’t even log in to the db with phpMyAdmin. My site was down most of Sunday until Monday morning. The ad selling Yahoo and WP stating 24 hour support is a joke. Yahoo tech support is non-existent and any questions regarding mysql or WP or php are directed to a glacially slow email system. I emailed them regarding the problem with the mysql server on Sunday and they still have not replied. Unbelievably bad service. I’ve been with them only a month, but a minute with them is too long.

This is the best one I’ve found for creating collapsible sidebars. It’s also WP 2 compatible and it supports the same argument list as WP’s wp_list_pages function. Try it, you’ll find it works very well
