Brett B Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 For the future, I'd (and plenty of others /original.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />)' /> would like the ability to easily restore a topic or deleted post. There should be a Restore button or something similar that will place the topic or post back into it's original place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 A topic you can just move. Deleted replies yes. I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett B Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I meant to say "deleted topic or post". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor T Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Use the trash can feature, and only turn it on for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krocheck Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Use the trash can feature, and only turn it on for you. That's helps with restoring topics, but its much harder to merge deleted posts back into their topics as-is. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftie Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 That's helps with restoring topics, but its much harder to merge deleted posts back into their topics as-is. Keith Using the Trashcan feature. It will give the Topic ID of any single posts removed from a topic. You can then select all the posts or the one single post and just merge it back to the original topic by using the Move Posts which will ask you the TOPIC ID and bobs your uncle... Or am I miss understanding something... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krocheck Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 A 'Restore' button would be much more intuitive. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett B Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yes, I understand the manual way to do it :rolleyes: . I requested a restore button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CynicalFrost Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Mmm. I remember once where this would have been a good idea to have when a hacker got into a staff account and wrecked havoc by completely deleteing an entire forum's topics. It actually doesn't sound too bad to implement database wise. Yet, I can see potential abuse of this. Maybe best left as a mod, although I might look into making this one (do not hold me to that).
