Well with the fresh install I made at http://beta.fanforge.net, I noticed that it is always in maintenance mode. I have a few times tried turning it off and on. Currently it is set to off. It still refuses to let me go anywhere unless I am logged in. Thank you.

Have you checked fanfiction_settings to verify that 'maintenance' is set to 0?
Other than that, you might try clearing your cookies & stuff?
Did you bridge it with SMF? I had this problem when SMF was bridged incorrectly.
no bridge, i'll check the sql
it is set to 1

1 means 'on'. If you change that that 0 in PHPMyAdmin it'll turn it off. For some reason it's not working through the admin interface - are you having any database connection issues?
hmm, I wonder about that. Its fixed now, thanks.
wonder how to test the connection, i had not noticed it apart from this

Hmmm... this is all conjecture, but when I first upgraded to 3.0 (like, 3.1 or something) my test site had a problem where the settings table wouldn't work with the prefix. I've seen variously $settingsprefix and $tableprefix. Maybe there's something wonky going on there. I think $settingsprefix is defined in config.php. $tableprefix, of course, is defined in the settings table.
So, the important question here: is that the only setting you can't change? Can you turn reviews or submissions on and off, or things like that (anything that goes into fanfiction_settings)?
i can toggle reviews on and off i think it was just the one thing.

Please check and see if this is an issue still with 3.5.1. Thank you.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
