M Matthew2D Well-known member Feb 13, 2012 #1 I accidently deleted some forums with lots of posts...is there any way to restore them? Thank you!
Vincent Well-known member Feb 13, 2012 #2 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 Upvote 0 Downvote

Jake Bunce Well-known member Feb 14, 2012 #6 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: Rich (BB code): 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.
