Have you tried a repair/optimize on the tables?

Yeah, it's made no difference.

OS Error Code 13: Permission denied
You do not have permission to write to a directory. Most commonly the temporary files directory. Create a directory in your User Home directory on the server and chmod it 777. If this does not resolve the issue then you must contact your host and have them fix your permissions.

I now have no previous posts, the threads are showing but when you click one of them, nothing shows.

I have posted a reply and it shows as my first post.

Pleaee dont tell me that my DB has reset?

And when i click the link to my portal (advancedCMP)S, it just brings up the error above.

actually you have to contact your host support, not vbulletin.. the error is related to your host, so why ask here first?!

this error is common when you are overwriting a file in the database server, or when you are over your limit.. no more access to write your content. it may be another kind of error, but it is surely related to your database management. contact your host support.
