If this is the incorrect forum I apologize, I thought this was the best fit.
A big problem I have and probably everyone else is when forum members link to external images that disappear later on. Many topics now have red X's where the now non-existant images should have been.
I have proeders file attachment mod being used but still many members find it easier to just throw up a link to inkfrog or another image hosting company.
My idea is this. I would like an admin utility that will go through a forum at a time and detect all links to external images, all of the IMG tagged lines which are followed by http, indicative of an external image. I would like it to then get that image and place it in the users uploaded folder. The final step would be to change the line of code to point to the forum stored image.
This would be a god send for most of us. Thanks in advance.

are you able to use .net on your web server? I already have some code in .net that would do this with a little tinkerring, and is a lot easier to do in .net than classic ASP

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure how to answer your question so I will tell you what I do and do not have.
The server is running Windows 2003 Server with SP2. The .Net Framework for versions 2, 3 and 3.5 are installed, all are at the latest service pack. I am using IIS and ASP.Net v2.0.50707 is installed.
I do not have any .net developer tools installed.
What do I need if anything? In short, to answer your question are you able to use .net on your web server? I will do whatever it takes to make this work.
Also to get another question out of the way, does your code do this for the entire forum at one shot or can I narrow it down to individual forums? I would then set up a test forum to test and troubleshoot it. I would be hesitant to try this out against 5 years worth of work.

Todd, all you need is the .net frameworks installed, I will try and throw something together over the weekend, bit pushed for time in the evenings at the moment, but hassle me after the weekend if you haven't heard anything.(I will make it work on individual forumsas it could take a while to do a whole Forum in one go)
maD2ko0l, sure no problem I will post the code next week, do you want the raw grab and save code or the finished code I will make for Todd ?
