XF 2.1 Undo a merge thread? After updating the post's thread id's on dbto undo a merge, what next?

Hi,

I need to undo a merge. I've updated the posts to have the correct thread id in the DB. What should I do next to fix the post positions and all that so they show?

thanks

You should never manually manipulate the database.

Either revert the changes you made or restore from a backup, then just select the posts in the merged thread and move to a new/existing thread.

Thanks

Is there an easy way to revert two long threads that have been merged? It's hundreds of posts and will take hours to do unfortunately

Tick each post and move them out to a new thread. It's the only way.
