title: No tables used?
body: <p>I've been working with this bit of code for some time now, and now, after some tinkering, I thought I finally got it to work, then it gives me this error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error Number: 1096<br>
        No tables used<br>
        SELECT *</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and this is the code</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT start.*, posts.did, COUNT(posts.pid)
                              FROM akia_starting_posts AS start
                              JOIN posts
                                  ON posts.did = start.did
                              JOIN akia_users AS users
                                  ON users.username = start.username
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure at the <code>*</code> my <code>start</code> is being used, so what  is it talking about?  It couldn't be any other code in the file, since when I take out this bit of code, it starts working.</p>
