Deleted Board

[writing]

Forum URL: (private)

My account got deleted by someone along with my board.    Is there a way to restore what was deleted?  I had asked a question about restoring user deleted content before but in this case I just want my board back with the content I had created.  I'm kinda sure it can't be fixed. I just made a new account with the same email address I had used before, any help would be great.

Hi, writing.

I've confirmed your ownership of the forum and have brought it back online.

The main admin account is impossible to delete so your account should still be there. However, if you delete any other content from the forum (threads, posts, users, etc.) those cannot be brought back as those are different from deleting the forum itself.

Thank you, can you please message me on how I can log back into it?  It isn't accepting my username.

Are you using admin as your username?

If not, you're probably using the wrong username.

Yes, I'm using Admin.

I get:

Did you then try to login with your global accounts email address?

Yes and I get

Great! Now login with username: admin and your password.

Can you give it another try now? I believe I've fixed what was causing that.

It now says my password is wrong.  I entered it several times and it is right. Do I need to reset it?

[Brian]

Yes, that would be the next course of action. Performing a password reset for the username you're attempting to log into should allow you to successfully link that forum account to the global account you're currently logged into.

That worked great.  Thank you.
