Hi everybody,

I have a problem. A user got angry about the moderation of our Mods. He forced me to delete his account. What I did not realise, he delete all of his posts, about 400, secretly and now many discussions look strange. Therefore I want to undelete the postings he deleted.

As the user is deleted already I can not find his postings in vb anymore. Therefor I took a look into the database using phpmyadmin. I found his postings in the post table searching for his username.

Now how can I undelete them? I found a table field called 'visibility', where most of his postings have a '2' (deleted?) and some a '1' (these postings are filled with smileys and are still visible, could 1 mean 'changed by user'?).

Would it be ok to just change the visibility from 2 to 1? What else could I do?
