I have deleted a member on my forum. My question is : is there any possibility of reversing this..Like making changes in myadminphp or anything like that..

Or is this a done deal deleted stay deleted..

Thanks

Ron..

I suppose it's possible, if you created a new member with same id_member, but don't recommend it.  If you didn't delete member's posts when you deleted the account, you could have member re-register, or register a new account manually, then reattribute his posts in Admin -> Forum Maintenance -> Members, I think that should work.  Or, if you have a recent database backup from before deleting member, you could restore it, and lose whatever activity happened since.
Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend,
 we were all equal in the end.

If you have both the databases (current and past) is it possible to restore the past dB and then update it from the current one, without affecting the changes to the members table.

By far the easiest and safest way would be to use the Reattribute User Posts feature in Admin -> Maintenance -> Forum maintenance -> Members.
You would not be able to bring back other than their posts and postcount though.
