a student reported problems accessing news forum posts. when I tested I found that there was a message saying that the forum was hidden. I deleted the forum link in topic/week 0. As soon as I did that all of the posts that were listed in the latest news block were gone. Is there any way to restore those postings? I tried to delete and redo the latest news forum which brought back the news forum link but none of the postings.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated since I did not do a course backup (as I should have) before working on the forum issue.
