    :confused:

    If someone deletes their PMs, are those soft or hard deleted?
    Can they be undeleted without going into the database directly?

    I would assume that when a member deletes a PM, it is completely removed from the database, thus rendering it unable to be replaced.

    Nick is right. The only way to undelete it from a database backup.

    that would be a sticky situation. Thats why you always ...

    a. request a read receipt
    b. download your pm's onto your computer. Just stash them in a seperate folder just in case you ever need them.
