I think your SQL syntax is wrong. You forgot to use column names.
Since you used 13 values, you should also insert 13 column names.
Syntax = INSERT INTO bb1_boards (col_name1, col_name2, ..., col_name13) VALUES (your comma-separated list of values).

I had it like that (('','0','test','','test','0','0','0','0','1','0','0','')) before with no errors but now it does

It's dangerous to say:

INSERT INTO bb1_boards VALUES ('','0','test','','test','0','0','0','0','1','0','0','')

Because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work. It might work today, but if you add or remove a column from the database, it will stop working. If you use the more complete syntax, your inserts wont break suddenly when you change the database.

The preferred syntax is:
INSERT INTO bb1_boards field1, field2, field3...field13 VALUES
('','0','test','','test','0','0','0','0','1','0','0','')

Oops, I think I forgot some required parenthesis:
INSERT INTO bb1_boards (field1, field2, field3...field13) VALUES
('','0','test','','test','0','0','0','0','1','0','0','')
