I’ve been editing posts on my board, mainly in order to fix weird post formating after importing the old database and also to convert links to oneboxes – it needed a little work, but it’s done now.

I think that’s the solution I’ve been looking for. :slight_smile: I’ll test how it works and see whether it’s worth doing.

Is there a way to remove all post revisions from all the posts?
