Hey guys,

I've accidentally deleted a subforum on my forum with roughly 1,000 threads in it.
Is there any way to recover these threads?

Thanks,
- Mike

I think you would have to restore your site to a backup to get them back.

Restore your site from a backup you may have. Hopefully you do back up your site often.

I have a backup, however it's not really practical unless absolutely necessary.

They're still "orphan" posts, no?
Is there a way to recover all orphan posts, and place them into a new forum?

when you delete a forum, the entire bank of posts/threads in it are deleted...

that's why the system alert you to be sure you want to delete it or not...
