Trying to find an old post in the forum's database [solved]

I hope this is the right place.

I'm looking for a post that was deleted a long time ago on my forum, and I'm trying to use the database through phpMyAdmin. I was able to use it to see old deleted members, so I figured the same might be true for posts, but if it's possible I haven't figured out how or where to look. hxxp:archive.org [nonactive] didn't catch it and it wasn't recycled. I tried looking at smf_topics; since the thread still exists (just not the post) I thought it might be there, but I can't even find the entire thread.

Is there a way I can look for a deleted post in the database?

Oh, I'm using 1.1.20, if that helps.

Deleted posts are not stored in the database. They would have to be recovered from a backup file

Ah, that's a bummer. Thank you!
