Okay, I attempted to edit something in a plugin in one of my hacks. I inserted a variable that apparently doesn't exist into a SQL query (AND dateline > " . $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] ."). I didn't think it would be a major problem if it didn't exist; I'd just get a regular MySQL error message, I could edit the plugin in the Admin CP and everybody would be happy.

However, instead I started getting a general database error message:

There seems to have been a problem with the forum database.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, whom you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

The e-mail? Well, it said that the error was in the plugin as I already figured out. However, I'm locked out of my Admin CP now because it shows the database error there too. (I might note that the plugin is located on global_start, but there had been invalid MySQL in that same plugin before and I just got a detailed error message in the browser and could still fix it in the Admin CP - I don't know why this error seems to be such a much bigger deal.)

Well, now I went and manually deleted the plugin from the database. The code simply isn't there anymore. However, somehow I'm still getting that message. Why is this and how do I fix it?
