Solutions are step by step at vb forums and they can help you out for free there (in most cases ;))

edit: if the problem was fixed 4 days ago and it happened again, then you (or your host) should downgrade to mysql v3

I had this problem on my board too, and if you visit the support forums at forums.invisionpower.com, dozens of other people had the same problem as well at the same time, kind of odd.

Anyways, they way I fixed the problem was to log into the Admin CP, then click on MySQL toolbox under SQL Management. Then repair the table that you had an error with, in your case, ibf_topics. I repaired everything because I got errors with different tables at different times.
