XF 1.1 Deleted lots of posts...help!

[Matthew2D]

I accidently deleted some forums with lots of posts...is there any way to restore them?

Thank you!

I think you might be lucky Look at this bug report, it generally means your threads still exist but that the forum is gone itself. http://xenforo.com/community/threads/deleting-a-forum-doesnt-delete-its-threads.9743/

I don't know how to get it back, I hope someone does
It might take some time though

I did this a while back and when I recreated the forum I found that all the threads were there also
Hope that it that easy in your case

 

[Matthew2D]

I know that, but I what I want to know is how to restore them.

 

[Brett Peters]

I recreated the deleted forum.. Thats it

As Brett said, just create the forum again. You will probably have to run this query to assign the old threads to the new forum:

UPDATE xf_thread
SET node_id = new id
WHERE node_id = old id;

Then run these counters:

Admin CP -> Tools -> Rebuild Caches
> Rebuild Thread Information
> Rebuild Forum Information

That should do it.
