Geoff, when you turned off 'image inbedding' it messed up alot of archived threads...
Any way a mod can go in there, and change all the <B>[img]</B> tags to <B>[img scr http://.........</B> tags?
I noticed alot of the otter meet picture threads got nuked when you changed this.
Or, just make me a mod, and I'll take care of it (among other things). Mwahahahahaha!
Thanks,

Unfortunately, being a regular mod wouldn't help much here. Mods can only make updates to the forums they are assigned. To make chages to stuff in the archived area, you'll need an admin.

Sorry, I checked this when you first posted it, but didn't see anything really obvious. Geoff's just recently returned from the Lord of The Rings event in LA, so hopefully, he'll be able to address this soon.
I'll send him an email to remind him, but you know how long it takes to get caught up after you've been out of the office for a few days....so give him a few days to get around to it.
Thanks.

Two simple queries. If I were cool, I'd use regex to do it in one, but...I'm not... 
If Geoff or someone else with th' appropriate access wants to run them, that should take care of it.
Code:
UPDATE post SET pagetext=REPLACE(pagetext, '[img]', '<img src="') WHERE forumid=27; UPDATE post SET pagetext=REPLACE(pagetext, '[/img]', '">') WHERE forumid=27;

If so, it is still all messed up.

Not sure why they all died.
All I know is that I've strated using the [img src for all new posts to make them work.
