Database Problems

NZTechie.com has been down for some hours today, reporting a ghastly looking error message when attempting to load the main page.

After some looking through the database I found that one of the tables was corrupt. I performed a repair within PHPMyAdmin which appears to have resolved the issue for now. The Startlogic repair facility within the Vdeck did not resolve the fault.

I am still experiencing a problem whereby my homepage is loading at an extremely slow rate. [Update: 28 Feb - Caching appears to have not been enabled for my feeds - Issue resolved]

Also the Startlogic Vdeck database backup facility is reporting errors stating you do not have permission to back up OR it provides invalid backups with no content in them.
