MySQL problem : Incorrect information in file: 'GDN_UserCategory.frm'*

For some reason my forums just stopped working. I didn't do anything new so I'm at a loss why it has happened. Any idea on what happened and how to fix it?

It's been six years you've been a member, i don't know if you have been welcomed to the community.
Or had the time to read the documentation link for Bonks or the forum etiquette thread
But just in case you haven't as yet.
what is the bonk error message that displayed after you read the docs on how fix a bonk.
I'd also suggest you fix your user name (remove the space) so you can get messaged properly, unless you prefer not to be mentioned. @Left Brain - that way someone named Left won't receive all your mentions

The first thing you should do before asking a question is search the forum.
grep is your friend.
What version number of Vanilla are you running?
What is the actual error?

Thanks, I did check. I did a search for the term "bonk" and looked through all the posts. Didn't find an answer which led me to ask the question.
I did find the "Bonk Errors" page which shows you how to find out what the real error is which I can now report.
It says...
"Fatal Error in Gdn_Database.Query();"
I would love to change my user name but when I go to the "Edit profile" it doesn't allow me to change my user name.

Your tagging plugin is causing problem. disable and see if problem goes away.
then enable it.
if problem goes away - fine.
if not.
After that post your version of tagging plugin
and check your tags in phpmyadmin to see if tags look normal.

I removed the Tagging plugin via FTP (just got rid of the whole folder) but don't know if that was enough to disable it. I can't access the dashboard to disable plugins.
Version of that plugin = ??? there is no Readme file and I can't access the dashboard.
a better way to do it is ftp /conf/config.php
probably looks like this

Thanks. That's what I did. No noticeable effect.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to check the tags in phpmyadmin but have yet to figure out where that file is. Also, not sure what you mean by "normal".
you did this???

now you have a problem in pockets. disable that and see if problem goes away.
what changes did you make that got you into this situation in the first place?
that would be helpful to know!
first you had a tag problem, then you had a category problem, now you have a pockets problem.
Something weird has happened either to your database or something that you added via code or a plugin is causing you problems.
I suggest you follow these steps.

Yes...from my config.php file...
Ah, that seems to have worked!
Nope...still having the problem. It worked for a second and then crashed again...
I made no changes to the forum at all and haven't touched it for at least a month except for approving applications.
The only recent work I've done is adding Registration Restriction Logger to help stop Spam applicants.
actually your site looks fine now! Awesome!

It crashes when I try to login.
I just went through and turned off all the plugins but it still crashes when I try to login.
I'll check out the other thread you suggested.
