Please try the following:

* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
Etc..

While fixing the issue via phpMyAdmin, the most common error I get is (The server cannot be found), i.e the page that appears when you have no internet connection.

Sometimes on optimizing or repairing (post) table in particular, an error appears (the server has gone away, no pma_comment is found on this database) and the error number is #2006.
Thanks, Boofo!

Hi,
I have a web host. Not a server of my own. I did contact the host so many times for that, and the most recent reply I got was the following:
"Dear Ehab,
I am sorry to hear that you were experiencing issues with issues on your site. Although I unable to directly replicate any errors, I have scanned your site through the malware scanner and verified that the site is clean of any malware. I have also updated the custom php.ini file to your hosting package and configured your site to create its sessions on your hosting package?s my_root/tmp folder to allow it process your database queries more efficiently. "

The forum was working properly for few days after I received this message, and then I started to get the same database error once again.
Sorry for the long reply, and thanks in advance, Lynne
