Description
MyBB supports using multiple read/write connections for databases, but this functionality currently seems to be totally undocumented for 1.8. There are some old docs for 1.4 here but they are quite old and have broken screenshots (and are difficult to find).
We should document this functionality as it's quite useful for large boards.

Research direction
Start by locating the MyBB 1.8 documentation for database configuration and compare it with the linked 1.4 article. Document how multiple read/write connections are configured, including the relevant options and any limitations; done means users can follow the guidance without relying on the old post.
