Post Recovery on SMF

[CartoonFan]

Is it possible to recover lost or deleted posts from a forum built with Simple Machines Forums software? If so, tell me how.

Some twat deleted my acceptance speech on a site I moderate, and it really meant a lot to me. Yeah, I'm ":baaaw:"ing about it pretty hard.

It depends on their config. SMF supports boards that act like a recycle bin. RMRK has one called the trash forum, and no post is truly deleted from RMRK, it just ends up there.

If he doesn't have one of these, then when your post is deleted, SMF removes it from the database and it's lost forever (unless it was backed up).
