Any way to undo a hard delete?

[k9diabetes]

I was not intending to delete the thread, only a single post but the whole thread went (because the post I copied there and then removed was older than the post that originally started the thread.

I have backups but not from the past two days when all the activity in the thread occurred. Is there ANY way to undo this action?

Unfortunately not. A hard delete removes the post from the database. It's sorta like letting a firecracker go off in your hand. You will get the use of you hand back eventually, and that's a "soft delete" of your hand. But strap 20 pounds of explosives to your belly and trigger the explosion. You're hard deleted.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh....... I've got to get over my dislike of the clutter of soft deletes.
