"link contained in the text"? I'm not sure that I understand...
Let me explain... My Classic user creates a new message, and refers to an old message on the board, so he posts a link to the old Classic thread and message, with the
http://www.xyz.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=... link. So when I read his new message, I can click on the link and read the other thread. Now... when I import his message to the new board, as well as the other thread, will someone reading the imported message be able to click on the link and get to the other imported message? ...or will all those links be dead. My board is full of that sort of thing.
Here is an example in this board: I refer you to my other active thread in this board:
Trial, then Final install??. Now, if this message were imported from Classic to Threads, would that link still work???
I am looking for some way to ensure that they will work, or some way that I can do a mass change and fix them so they will work (the reason I was hoping thread numbers would not change.)
...I know nothing about redirectors. Where can I learn more?
