Please fix my Profile

I discovered earlier today that any forum action that results in the database looking up user info from my profile, fails. That means this thread will not even render unless you use the lo-fi version (It does not lookup post counts, join dates, avater etc). Something in the database is corrupted, causing this problem.
Not sure who can fix this, but I hope someone does. Once fixed, all the currently 'broken' threads will suddenly be OK. They fail right now because, you guessed it, they look up my post counts, join date, avatar info etc. I won't be able to see any replies to this (as there won't be any until this problem is fixed) so won't know if it's being looked at. If you REALLY want to put my mind at rest then you could always post in the 'OOPS' thread. I can't post in there as I don't want to kill it too
All I can do is hope
As for whoever tries to fix this, I imagine you will need to manipulate the DB directly, looking for my entry in the users table and working what bit of data is corrupted and fixing it

I would never actually do that btw, but it sure is a risk leaving an account like thisThe oops thread is now 'Tom' damaged - Why can't someone just help him?
...before he afflicts his curse on the whole of the BB?
If I were him, and got such little help ( after he's been asking it for ages) - I might be tempted to infect every thread on the BB until the problem was fixed,.
It can't be that hard!
It's not just for me either, it's also for all the people who's profiles got broken by me viewing them. (Stopped viewing them when I realised I was breaking them).
Come on guys, you just need to fix my join date and/or post count. That will in all likelihood fix this. You may need to delete the problematic row in the db and replace it though.

(this is how I was meant to reply to the 'OPPS' thread. Sorry about that...)

Just make sure he has read what I have said about what the error likely is, before trying to fix other peoples profiles and broken threads. Fixing my profile should fix all of that, vastly cutting down the length of his listThere is only one person who can help him and that person has been away on vacation until yesterday. Now he has a lot of work to do. It's on the list, so I assume it will be fixed soon.

Umm, I know, that's why i'm posting in THIS thread. It was a mistake that I posted in the OPPS thread earlier. Thanks thoughTom -do not reply to this thread...we're trying to help you.
Hold on lad
If anyone is actually reading this thread in the lo-fi version (like it says in the thread title), can they quote what I have said into this thread? http://forums.autosp...howtopic=159022. They may not realise I am using my thread to reply to them...
Ta,

However, when searching based on rating, it fails. This suggests that it is my rating value in the DB that is corrupt. This is made apparent too as even if you do a search for members without using any part of their name, but you use member rating, than it still fails.
Hack, I hope this helps.

This was actually an entire table marked as corrupt.

Cos then I would not be able to say "I joined in 2005!" and I would not be able to use my regular e-mail and regular screen nameWait. This guy had about 20-25 posts before the zombie status began?
Why didn't you just make a new profile
Oh and I was in no real rush.
Oh and the forum was broken so it needed to be fixed

While you're at it add a couple stars to my rating, I'm a 2 star user apparently!
Feel sorry for those of us on three! Now that's mediocrity!

Every time I s'troll into a Kimi thread and tell them what an spoilt asshat he really is... I go down to 0 stars?
I envisage a mass of pasty face keyboard warriors clicking "no stars for you, no stars for you, no stars for you".
