Post Table Crashed. Cannot Repair!
 

Hi guys,

Sorry I have to open a new thread, but I could not search any topic in here that addressed my problem.

We currently being hosted by Yahoo, using PHPMyAdmin, MySQL 4.2.16 version.

My board is about 190 Meg big.

We have had problem with database before (connection time out), but usually that would go away after a while.

We also had to repair the table, using AdminCP from times to times.

About a month ago, I ran these optimize and repair function while Yahoo was shut down, to run their own maintenance. After that, we have had a lot of problem. Minors, so I cannot recall exactly what, now.

Two weeks ago, I pasted a very large (long) file (post) into the board, and my board crashed.

I have been running the repair function provided by VBB ever since. But there's still no hope.

I went into phpMyAdmin, the table (post) is "in use".

Is there any way I can retrieve the database (posts)?

I spent a lot of time collecting stuff into my board, as well as "blogging".

It would be a terrible shame if I loose all that (posts).

Thanks.
