Need help with my forum, database error 1016

[melmunch]

My forum started experiencing difficulty last night and has now been offline since then and keeps showing a database error.

My forum admin guy is on his honeymoon and I am getting desperate. Can anyone help me figure this out? I will gladly pay.

Thanks

Is this a mysql error ?
This may be caused by a missing/corrupt table. You may try running a repair on the DB (REPAIR TABLE <tablename>).

assuming you are having phpmyadmin in place, use that to repair the tables . If you are using vBulletin, alternatively you can upload repair.php to your admin directory and execute it from your browser. You should find repair.php file in the extras folder of vBulletin zip file.

phpmyadmin method works well ...

hope this helps .

Thanks
