Howdy all!
I was poking around ES today and came upon a thread that used a lot of linked images from ES 1.0's URL structure.. It was ugly.

These images were broken in posts where the poster re-linked an image ( nice practice ). Because these links were written in a phpbb-specific way, the link was broken.

It turns out the redirector file we got from Xenforo world was not complete.

I busted out the backup for ES 1.0 and pulled the images back into the forum archive. This seems to have fixed said posts :)

We still have a ways to go on fixing content. automatic linking (phpbb behavior that didn't write the change to content ) is still broken, so are youtube tags.

We plan to have the rest patched up by spring!
 
Should I let you know (here in this thread, perhaps) for image issues I still run across? (they're probably just missing, but...)

Lemme know about it.

Images are back up on forums-old for counter-referencing.
