I can see comics on the front page and in the forums, but any time I try to visit an individual comic's page, or a user's info page, nothing below the site banner shows up, and there's this message instead:

quote:

---

Table './stripcreator/sc_user_meta' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed

---

This isn't happening anymore.

It's happening to me when I try to go to my page.  Please tell me my comics aren't all gone!

I'm sure it's just a system glitch and we'll be back to our comics soon.

I can confirm this is happening again, same symptoms:

"Table './stripcreator/sc_user_meta' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed"

And no the comics won't have been lost (they're still in the forums so they're still there, one of the user tables has crashed which affects the banner above the comic).

Also: Biped it appears your avatar has gone kaput, I'm seeing a giant ad for Imageshack where it would normally be.

Yeah, I'm just seeing an "x."  ImageShack has turned into a bad place.
