 * Hi,
    My install was working fine until yesterday and then I started getting database
   error codes on the pages instead of my posts. I had a php/mysql programmer do
   a table repair but it did not help. He feels that the database may not be the
   problem. You can see the error codes for yourself at [http://www.wirelessphoneinfo.com/.](http://www.wirelessphoneinfo.com/.)
   Some of the error code given on the page is : Database error: [Got error 28 from
   table handler] SELECT DISTINCT link_category, cat_name, show_images, show_description,
   show_rating, show_updated, sort_order, sort_desc, list_limit FROM `wp_links` 
   LEFT JOIN `wp_linkcategories` ON (link_category = cat_id) WHERE link_visible 
   = ‘Y’ AND list_limit <> 0 ORDER BY cat_name Any help would be greatly appreciated.
