Anyone else having problems accessing messages

I haven't but I think it's BCC's new rule , which states " really annoying people who live in hot countries whilst the rest of us are suffering torrential rain and have the heating on in July should be made to suffer by having their message access blocked".

Not sure if this is appropriate for your circumstances of course, but maybe that's the reason?

Me too - I get this error message:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table './phpBB_live/privmsgs' is marked as crashed and should be repaired [145]
