When UltimateYota switched to the new forum software, most of the image links broke. SMF used a modified IMG tag that automatically resized pictures. The new forum software does not recognize these non-standard tags.

Here is how to fix it:

Click on Advanced Search.

On the advanced search page, click on the "Search Single Content Type" tab.

In the "Keyword" field, enter "[img width=" WITH the quotes.

In the user field, enter your own user name.

At the bottom, click the option to display Posts, not Threads.

Click search.

Each post will be displayed. click the link at the top of each post, and edit at the bottom of the post containing the broken picture tags. Remove everything in the tag except [img]. Click save.

I just finished doing a few hundred posts. Time consuming but worth it!

Took me a few hours, and I skipped probably a dozen posts. Stuff that was for sale or really doesn't matter. If someone wants me to fix an individual post, they can PM me.
