I found that, when I delete the second and other posts, it can be “undeleted” , but if I accidently miss-deleted the first post, it will not be allowed to “undelete” the post any more.
What if I just miss-deleted the first post of the full page?
But in this situation staff users can’t see the undelete icon. And I think this is because the user decided to delete the topic and there is no reply yet so user free to delete it.
There is only a wrench button which is also not contains undelete…
I’ve just had a quick go at this @Don, and based on the screenshot in the OP [1] the icons are red, so it means that the post has been deleted rather than at the ‘visible but (topic deleted by author) stage’.
Once it’s been deleted I can see, as admin, the un-delete options as normal:
Though if it’s still at the visible ‘(topic deleted by author)’ stage then it hasn’t been deleted yet and counts as a post edit, in which case you’d be right.
