Weel the error is easy to explain, a trailing comma in the WHERE clause.

What this quesry got to do with the arcade, i don't know. Looks more like a UserCP query to me.

Can the user reproduce this, or was it a 1 time error.

Maybe he just clicked everywhere on the screen in teh heat of the game.

the person was last using the arcade, and then some how was unable to gain access to the site sayin: slight problem with database etc

the error keeps happening, just for the user , but not sure if this is any help, someone who also tried to access the site via google, showed up on the error log.

everythings been running fine till now

user cp? ive ran maintence and diagonostics, but problem still the same

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Try running Update Counters->Fix broken user profiles.

[kay9]

thanks, tried it 3 times just now, but still the same problem.

Ok, create a new file called 'rebuild.php' in your forum home.

put the following in it, then run it:

PHP Code:

<?php

require_once('./includes/init.php');

require_once('./includes/functions.php');

require_once('./includes/adminfunctions.php');

build_options();

?>

After you run it you can remove the file. This wil try to rebuild your datastore table.

[kay9]

ok, ran the file. Is it suppose to be white screen when run?

There seems to have been a slight problem with XXXX database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser. An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persist

same problem still occurs, it allows me to use the site as normal without any problems, but few users are now having the same problem :s

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Yes it will only give you a blank page.

When did you get that database error? While running the script?

I suggest you go to vbulletin.com and ask there or open a support ticket.

no, not by running the script, just the same problem as before with no change.

since i have hacks installed, i would only be told to come here.

i spent about 1hour reading through posts on there about similar problems, (mysql error number: 1064) but most of the help notes suggesting removing the hacks etc (which is not a option for me)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I know that they will likely suggest you ask here. But i still think that you should ask there in this case.

Other option would be to install a fresh copy of vB and revert all changes to test.
