Alexell,
There's really no urgency at all to transform the links. (It only affects the old posts ... and they're not going anywhere, are they?)
Also, before going down the external text-editor route, it might be worth checking with Selden if he's aware of any phpBB admin tools for applying global edits.
ie. There may even be a way to do tasks like this without doing a dump and taking the forum down.
BTW, a couple of questions about this new version of phpBB.
1. What are the -/+ buttons on each post ? Are these "dislike/like" buttons?
2. IIRC, there used to be something like a "quote-post" button, as well as a "reply" button. Have you decided to disable this?

Quote whole post was never comfortable. In this forum it was better to select the desired text and press "Quote" (see the screenshot.).Chuft-Captain wrote:IIRC, there used to be something like a "quote-post" button, as well as a "reply" button. Have you decided to disable this?

FANTASTIC NEWS
How good to see the return of Celestia forums and (hopefully) the revival and continued growth of this E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T planetarium programme!
I own and operate my own mobile planetarium business and Celestia is just as important to me as Stellarium and my catalogue of fulldome (360°) films.
I use Celestia ver 1.4.1 adapted for spherical mirror projection. This version was commissioned by Discovery Dome many years ago and it is available free to its customers.
Of course 1.4.1 is an older version with limitations (and a few bugs). It would be wonderful if an official spherical mirror projection option was incorporated into Celestia in the future. This would make Celestia of great value and interest to HUNDREDS of small digital dome users around the world.
Congratulations and very well done to all the developers and contributors who have made Celestia what it is today - and may it continue to grown in the future.
I'm not a programmer, but would love to help where I can.

eafbsd, I'm just a person who likes to Celestia and does not want her to die. I'm also a bit of a programmer and sound producer.

Wow, that's a "blast from the past", when I checked an old email account > what a nice surprise !
@Don.Edwards above #7 says "Well, who says the dead can't be resurrected." so true ! ( in more ways than one in some cases !! )
Come to think of it -- I dont actually have a Celestia on this computer any more, so I must rectify that pdq,
Some names I recognize and some new to me, Hello To All
Well done Alexell
Now to find A Celestia to download >>>>

Good to see a few old names I recognize returning to the new forum.
