We had 6.5 and many posts had links to other posts. Under 7.0 these links are very broken.

Any suggestions/fixes for this? Is this a common problem?

Basically in the import zip there are a couple of files, postlist.php, showflat.php and showthreaded.php. Each are commented with instructions as to what needs to be changed

Place those files in your OLD forum directory (replacing the current ones - you can rename or save the old ones)

Change the path to point to the new forum location.

You may also need to set $search_friendly to 0 in each of the scripts to disable the search engine friendly style URLs if those are causing a problem.

You're quite welcome. I was a bit more frustrated than you I think when mine were not working and Rick and Gizmo gave me information to get me going again.
