Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 17, 2024Apr 17 So, I tried to change my email, but then I changed my mind. On the email confirmation page, I reverted back to my old email. After that, my account was deleted, and now all my posts appear as "Guest Donnie95." I don't want to restore a backup of my forum because it will remove 24 hours of content...
April 17, 2024Apr 17 Author I think it's a bug. I tried it with a test account, and it got deleted too. Hopefully, there's a way to undo it. 🙏
April 17, 2024Apr 17 If an account is deleted entirely, the only way in which to restore that account would be to restore your database. Please could you provide the exact step by step action to replicate this as I don't appear to be able to replicate
April 17, 2024Apr 17 There is no way to "undo" an account delete. You would need to restore from a backup. If this is important, you need to do it sooner than before so you don't keep losing data since your last backup. Regarding changing email, I just changed my email on this site and my personal forum and don't have that behavior occurring. Do you use some kind of 3rd party app or login system?
April 17, 2024Apr 17 Could I please confirm you are referring to this when you changed your mind? I ask as Im unable to replicate this in any way

My backup are too old and I will lose more data if I restore it. I do use 3rd app, I'll try without these app. 2 minutes ago, Marc Stridgen said: Could I please confirm you are referring to this when you changed your mind?

April 17, 2024Apr 17 Author The issue comes from the plugin "Proxy, VPN & Disposable Email Blocker." My server keeps MySQL binlog files. I think these files can be used to undo certain things. I'll check what I can do.
April 17, 2024Apr 17 Sorry to hear this. Ensure you report the issue to the author of that item. Unfortunately, the only way we can advise in which you can restore an account is with the restoration of a recent backup. I realise from what you mention above, that's not the ideal option for you.

Restoring from binlog is too hard. I remember there was a plugin that could change the topic author, but I can't recall its name or where to find it. I believe I can use it to assign the "Guest" posts to a new account, then recalculate the reputation and post count.

April 17, 2024Apr 17 Donnie95 Quote old_name - nazwa usuniętego użytkownika. name of the deleted member
