Go to
https://r.rpol.net/admin/creategame.cgi and type in the old game name as the new name. Not sure of a different method on the old site? Though now I've set that it might force you to put in a GM name as well, such as new HTML likes to force.
Might put in a link to select and resurrect an old game to make life easier.
The old/current UI has a convenient button offering to let you "resurrect" it if you go to the game. Which is what a friend of mine was using when I let them know some of their old stuff got deleted tonight while we were gaming. As much because they were freaked out when I passed along this thread saying the OP could not find the button in the new UI.
Having to use a "How would they even know that?" manual entry for what has a clear and convenient button to undelete a game sounds like a HUGE oversight, yeah. And justifies my telling them to get on it ASAP instead of after the holidays "Just in case there really is no button anymore"
I wasn't pushing the button myself (just co GM not main GM) in case that switched permissions or something. But the fact it is right there for someone who usually gets confused when I explain UI in less than exact terms was good enough for them certainly speaks for the old UI. (I literally told them 'press the try it now button' regarding the banner add to test responsive when they were curious about the new UI, and their reaction was 'I don't see a "try it now" button' So yeah. Turns out Idiotproof game resurrection is a big deal)
