My forum's domain name was changed some time ago due to me losing domain name rights. Unfortunately, a lot of the posts and category forum descriptions link to pages on the forum using a fully-qualified URL. Is there any way for me to refactor all text on the forum? I'd really like to avoid manually replacing potentially thousands of links.

Do you mean a domain name or the original forum address?

Hello,
There really is no way besides manually editing the posts unfortunately.

The original forum address. All posts link to the site and its pages using http://revivaldawn-oprp.com/, which was the forum address before I lost my rights to that domain due to running out of credits. Now, when I try to buy back that domain name, it's claimed to be taken. So, I have no choice but to replace all the existing links to the new address, which is http://revivaldawn-oprp.forumotion.com/. Since I have thousands of links all over the forum that use the old address, I was wondering if there was a quick way to replace them.SLGray wrote:Do you mean a domain name or the original forum address?
