My miners have been operational the entire time.

More information can certainly help us tackle your issue. Like what coin are you mining, what is your hardware, how many hashes are you getting out of it.

On one computer, I am using 2 ASIC erupter blocks at 666 Ghash, plus the cpu, at 1 Ghash, plus the video card at 30 Ghash.  On another computer, I am using 1 ASIC erupter block, 333 Ghash, and on a third computer, I am using the video card at 10 Ghash.  All miners were working before this, and after. 

Also, on the main forum page, I saw several other people having the same problem on the same block.

My miners have been operational the entire time.

Seems as Slush pool, contact the owner, or use the main Slush pool thread at bitcointalk

Are you sure that you have not mistaken GHash for MHash?

I don't know of any CPU that can do 1 GH, or any GPU that can do 30 GH.  Also I believe the Erupters do 333 MHash.   If that is the case then you have less than 1 GH running.  I know with my 180 GH I"m mining about 0.1 BTC a day.  If you are mining 1 GH then you are likely not mining with enough hash power to have had found anything in the block you highlighted.

I've only mined at 2 GH with slush and always got something. There's properly some reason behind it, i'd contact suport anyway.

Maybe the block you found was invalid and discarded?
