You might be able to get it back by pressing "Back" on your browser lots of times until you get to when you deleted it. You could only do that if you haven't already pressed back since you deleted the post though. If that's not an option, I'd say it's lost. Sorry.

The only way to get it back is to restore a backup file, but since it is only 1 post, then I guess putting up the backup file wouldn't make sense, because we would lose all of the posts we made today, including everything we did on this forum today.

Also, clicking 'Back' doesn't do anything. Once you have deleted a part of a database, the browser's 'Back' button merely takes you to the page you were on before or on a previous occasion. If you were to press the browser's 'Back' button after deleting a post, you would be able to see the original post. If you were to refresh the page, however, you would see the thread with your post not in the topic, or if it was the most recent topic and your post was the first post in the topic, then you would get a page error.

Tried and tested on numerous occasions myself.

How would you accidentally delete your post? There is an option to confirm the deletion of your post.
