Pack that crap in now Nick. If you cannot offer helpful advice, say nothing.

Have all of your tables actually disappeared, or are you just assuming so due to that error? Your best option would be to have a word with your host and see what they say. Do you not have any database backups?

Re: database gone !!!

Open your database admin page (PHPMyAdmin or whatever you use) and see if the tables are still there.

Btw, that error shows that you deleted the Guest account.

These queries should fix that:

DELETE FROM `users` WHERE id=1;
INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `group_id`, `username`, `password`, `email`, `use_avatar`, `email_setting`, `save_pass`, `notify_with_post`, `show_smilies`, `show_img`, `show_img_sig`, `show_avatars`, `show_sig`, `timezone`, `language`, `style`, `num_posts`, `registered`, `registration_ip`, `last_visit`) VALUES
(1, 3, 'Guest', 'Guest', 'Guest', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 'English', 'Oxygen', 0, 0, '0.0.0.0', 0);
