I woke up this morning to discover an issue with my forum. I haven't recently changed anything on the forum myself. I'm assuming the forum was somehow hacked?
When attempting to go to my forums homepage I am greeted with:
"Database error
The database has encountered a problem. "
When right-clicking the page and seleting View source this is what I get:

I'm not really sure what to do, I haven't backed up my forum in quite some time, and on top of that I'm not sure where the files were saved. If anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be a life saver. I don't have the energy to start from scratch with this forum anymore.
