How do you recover a deleted thread?

[bluestartech]

Need help please!

If you did a hard delete on a thread by accident and wanted to restore it from database, which mysql database table should be restored? thanks

Try this, restore the backup to a different database and using the operations tab in phpmyadmin, rename the thread and post tables to something with a number on the end (post7 and thread7) then copy those 2 tables to the live database.
Run the following queries changing 777 to the threadid of the deleted thread.
Code:

INSERT INTO thread
(SELECT *
FROM thread7
WHERE threadid = 777)

Code:

INSERT INTO post
(SELECT *
FROM post7
WHERE threadid = 777)
