How can I run rebuild posts on 4.4?
I would second running a one-time REPLACE SQL statement for this specific purpose. Back up the database, then run something like UPDATE forums_posts SET post=REPLACE(post,'http://wrongDomain.com/','http://correctDomain.com/'); Note that you may wish to check other similar tables (blog entries, status updates, personal conversations, etc.) but the method is the same, just the table name and column will vary.
