How to enable the links (URL) clickability - activate links in your older posts done under precedent website software platform - SOLVED manually by me, but time consuming.
Our problem:
- after the change of forum software platform from MyBB to XenForo - all links within the old posts have become unclickable, disable, not detected. This problem have all posts posted before December 10, 2013 in the morning - the date of change of the website software platform (from MyBB to XenForo). All these links are now disabled ( losed automatic highlighting - no more highlighted in blue watermark ..).
Solution (manual ..):
To activate links in these posts, click EDIT your posts one-by-one, then click on 'Save changes' button. All links in this post have become enabled, so highlighted in blue. YouTube window appears too, if posted YouTube video link.
Problem is solved on this post - then do this same to all your posts you want to enable the links.
Yes, it's time consuming, so perhaps you would find another solution - is this missing code problem, or the bug?

PS.
I have done edit in all my posts on Turin Shroud topic - that was very time consuming!
- I wonder about impact on site traffic, crawling and indexing the website by search engines - when migrating to a new website software platform ..
