Yesterday, one of my moderators deleted a topic which is very important to us. That topic has around 40 posts. I am using MS Access database and I have a forum backup file (.mdb).
Is there any way I can restore this topic? I can not just overwrite the Access database because our members post new topics today.

There is not a way to receiver topics once they are deleted.

The only way would be to try and copy and paste the content of the messages from your backup database and report them again.

I have a suggestin to help forum owners to fix this kind of problem.  As a upgrade on 10 or any of the 9x upgrades, any topics or forums that is deleted by a mod will be removed from the froum table and copied to a backup table.  This way the main admin can login and restore the back up or delete the backup items.

I think that this would involve much more coding webcity even if the idea sounds good in principle. The best way is actually to ensure that you only entrust the people you KNOW will not try to stuff your forum by deleting posts. I'm sure that there is some kind of modification that can do this whereby moderators can only actually hide the posts and leave the final decisions to the forum admin team
