Accidentally deleted posts

Postby astrax » Mon Dec 15, 2014 4:05 pm

Hi,
I accidentally ("permanently delete this poster") deleted posts in a newsgroup which shouldn't have been deleted. Is there a way to ge those back? Note: the poster was not "locked out" and posts were only deleted from my "display age", older posts are still there.
Thanks!

How old were they? The only way to get them back is to re-download headers but, if they aren't that old, you don't have to download that many.

Say they were 10 days old.

- Set the "Download Age" to 12
- Right click the group. "Post Storage/Use Download age"
- Download headers normally for that group.

If should pull the last 12 days worth.
