Well, if there are no results, nothing will be displayed.

try as given below with @ sign

@mysql_connect("localhost", "Master", "pword");
@mysql_select_db("db"); 	
$official2 = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Contribute WHERE stack LIKE '%comic%' ORDER BY points DESC")OR die (mysql_error());

After a second look at your code, there are a few thing to change. Fist of all, you have the complete table inside the while loop. That means every time the loop executes, a new table is created. So before the while loop you need

echo "<table>";

and after

echo "</table>";

Inside the wile the echo might work if written like this:

echo "<tr><td align='centter'>
    <font face='Arial' size='3px' color='#D99C29'>
    <strong><a href='ustack.php?search=".$officaluser."' style='text-decoration:none'>".$officaluser."</a></strong></font>
</td>
<td align='center'>
    <font face='Arial' size='3px' color='#FFFFFF'>
    <strong>".$officalpoints."</strong></font>
</td>
</tr>

If you don't notice the change, I did place ". and ." around the variables.
