If you have access to root on your server stop mysql, then repair the table, then restart mysql.

You may need to get your host to do this for you if you are unsure on command line instructions.

As far as I know you should be safe to convert the table to heap.

This error is preventing everyone (Even us admins) from logging into the forum at all.. We are totally locked out. Last time this repair thing worked...

What do u mean "the tin"? sorry..

How do we turn off of MySql and repair table? I am willing to do whatever it takes. I just need to get this board back up by end of today somehow.. if its easier to guide me by phone, let me know! It would be greatly appreciated..

and as for converting table to heap.. How do i do this.. Remember, our knowledge with SQL is very limited. We cannot afford to make any more errors til this problem is fixed..
