database problem - please help me so that it can be solved

Hello members, I badly need your help after spnding ten hours in trying to solve this. Please check these two urls and help me to understand where did I go wrong. All other things are working fine except these two -

www.intercore.net/discuss/index.php?action=stats and
www.intercore.net/discuss/index.php?action=prefs (login reqd)

The second one is showing this message only - There was a database error. Please report this problem (what you were trying to do etc.) to boards administrator, or contact the authors of this forum software.

1) If login is required for catching your errors, always provide temporary login. Nobody should register on your site just for determining the error.

2) Stats error - go to your admin panel and click Restore admin data.

Lucky for me this tread is up; helped me solve my problem. Not sure if anyone will see this for the praise they deserve, but thanks none-the-less.

Few notes of a possible cause:
I had just installed the avatar addon, which I still have not sucessfully completed. Not sure if it is just conincidence or not.

Thanks again,
Peter.

Peter: sorry?.. Didn't understand your reply in full. Was our advice helpful? Do you need more help?
