Ok I use to run VB 3.0.0 I upgraded to 3.5.4 and when I did I moved my forum to the /forums directory. Main reason was because I installed vbadvanced to have a nice clean front page. Because the forums were originally in the main /html folder and are now in the /forums folder all the links people have posted in the forums to other places in the forums are broken. For instance www.mysite.com/showthread.php?t=472 should now be www.mysite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=472
I am sure there is a way for me to run an sql query that will replace all instances of www.mysite.com/showthread.php with www.mysite.com/forums/showthread.php this would fix all my broken links. I could manually do it but dont want to have to change like 400 posts manually.
Any help would be wonderfull.
THanks

to replace text in posts.

Code:

UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext,'www.olddomain.com','www.olddomain.com/forums')

replace text in pms.

Code:

UPDATE pmtext SET message = REPLACE(message,'www.olddomain.com','www.olddomain.com/forums')

to replace text in signatures.

Code:

UPDATE usertextfield SET signature = REPLACE(signature,'www.olddomain.com','www.olddomain.com/forums')

you can acheive what you want from above queries

kindly test the same once... as I am not sure if your board url is using a trailing slash /

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
