Hi. My site has be running for over a year now. Drupal V5.1.
Everything was running fine up until 8:40am today when all of the logins stopped working. I can't login as a regular user or as an admin. All I get is bumped back to the home page with no error messages. No files or modules have been changed in months. It just crapped out. I do have other drupal sites on another server that I can access just fine, so I know that it isn't a firewall issue. I have rebooted but no success. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

I'll skip the "you're 8
I'll skip the "you're 8 security updates behind!!!" speech.
Standard suggestion: Clear your cache (browser & site).

Done that.
Thanks, but I've done all of that. Cleared cache, cleared cookies. Tried on different browsers and computers. PCs and Macs. Tried creating a new user and logging in. No dice. My other 3 Drupal sites have no issues, Just this one. So I know it's not a firewall issue. Rebooted the server. Looked at all of the files and folders for anything new to see if I had been hacked. Notta.
Any other ideas??
Any chance it's a database
Any chance it's a database corruption issue? try running a repair on the tables.

Corey's idea
Maybe that is it. Who knows?
How would I do about doing that, and would I risk screwing up my existing database by doing that?
Well, you should always
Well, you should always backup your database before performing any sweeping changes.
If you have access to phpMyAdmin, then look there under the "Structure" tab, and "Repair" is an option in the pull-down selection tool at the bottom of the page.

table repair
So do I need to check "users" and click repair, and that's it?
I would select all of them.
I would select all of them. If it doesn't need repair, then nothing adverse will happen anyway.

You my friend...
...are a genius. Repairing the DB was what was needed.
THANK YOU!!!
