Posted Links Issue
 

A friend of mine is running a forum and he recently imported to vBulletin 3.7.2, although there is an issue.

All the previous posts that include links are not clickable. For example, if someone posted http://www.vbulletin.com in their post, it's simply text and not a link. Is there a way to massively reparse or update the post content so that links are clickable?

Oh also, when he manually edits a post and saves the edit, the text "links", turn into actual links, although this isn't very viable having to massively edit all posts. Any ideas?

Edit: I tried: Rebuild Thread Information, Rebuild Post Cache. No work :(

Thanks in advance!

As I said on vb.com, when you create a vb post, there is an option to parse links. If that is set to yes, then the links get parsed before the post is saved. If it is set to no, then the url isn't parsed. You can't 'do' anything to turn it on. You would actually need to write some script to go through and read every post and then parse the links in it and then save it.

Hmm okay, I guess I'll look for a programmer to write such a script.

Thank you for your time and knowledge Lynne! :)
