It's easy to restore a post you deleted in error. While on your admin board for the board in question, click on the link to the RECYCLE BIN and then find the message you want to restore and click RESTORE. This will also restore the objection (I think) so you will have to REJECT the objection which will leave the post. I'm not clear whether you mean you wanted to delete a response though and leave an original post--if that is what you meant you can always just delete the response (which will be restored along with the original post) from the board (not from the objection) and THEN reject the objection.

I mistakenly deleted the original post rather than the objection. Can someone tell me how to restore it to the board? Also, in the archives, a "gatewayed" copy of it was posted. Since the message board is the gateway, why is it gatewayed to the archives? Can someone explain this to me? Any help appreciated.
