    I use IPB ver 2.00 and I have many broken links and broken image in my forum mysql database . What is the easiest way to get rid of this, any good software/tool/script out there you can recommend?

    Thx!

    drop database ipb; but on a more serious note, grab each link or image reference and loop through doing a get_file_contents and checking each one

    I found a forum where someone was having a similar problem I believe. Their solution was to convert over to phpBB. The individual in this post wrote a conversion software tool which he (or she) freely made available at http://sepia.lp-musix.net/ipbconv.tar. I have not checked to see if this a dead link or not, use it at your own risk.

    You can read the forum post at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=217287&start=90&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

    I hope this helps at least some.

    Actually this looks like much more credible software:
