What is the state of this feature request (if that’s what it is)?
Let’s break this up into several smaller questions:
- Is there currently any way for a user to getting a copy of all the images included in their posts?
- Is there any way of getting (or recreating) these posts in their cooked format, at least to the extent that uploaded images are in the place they’re supposed to be?
While I’m not sure I’d be able to write a full script, I did try to figure out how to reconstruct the URL of the images based on the information that is currently included in the user_archive.csv, but I don’t see how it would be possible, given that there seems to be no correlation between the image link provided in the csv file and the public URL of that image on the forum.
For example, I have  in my csv file and the URL of that image on the forum is https://forum.example.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d04053334ed6a40db3cdcf83c1c6eb139079494e.png, so even if the script used tIh81VxrDGPzUkxhikPmbgFGbO6.png in combination with some base URL, it wouldn’t be able to retrive the image, right? Or does an image somehow have multiple identities?
