Yanto Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Is there any way personal messages can be retrieved? I deleted by mistake a conversation, and i can't remember who it was with cos I'm a senile old fool. Ian (foolish and senile)
Kingster Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Might be still in the database - but not sure. I haven't got my laptop set up to access it at home, so might have to wait until I'm back at work on Weds PM for me to look. Chris
Yanto Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 Ok Chris thanks, I'll have a long hard think over a pint, maybe i'll recall the name, I'll let you know either way. Cheers Ian
Captain Colonial Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I think you might be SOL on that one. I'm pretty sure deleted PMs are not retrievable as they are private. Admins can't see passwords, and can only see another member's PMs by logging in as that member, which is a traceable action and is only done to sort an issue and with the member's knowledge and consent. We can retrieve deleted posts, but I've never seen a way to retrieve a deleted PM in my five years handcuffed to the backstage system.
Yanto Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks Scott, good to know for future reference, I am sorted now, I remembered the name before I finished my pint! Chris, you can stand down, thanks for the prompt reply and offer to look into it.
