I'm highly opinionated and extremely self-assured
I PM'ed a few Moderators about this, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to post the question here as well:

I have been a TB member for several years, and have posted hundreds of times, many of which contain URLs to images hosted by my ISP. Well, my ISP has decided to discontinue their hosting service, which means that now all of the URLs in my posts will go dead. I have a brand-new account with another hosting service, and can move all of my images there, but I need a way to go back and edit all of my posts with images, so that I can correct the URLs. My newest posts have edit capability, but my older posts do not.

What's the best way to handle this? The answer that I want to hear, from a forum administrator, is that they can temporarily enable editing for all of my posts, and give me a window in which to complete this. Is this an option? Are there any other options?

Thanks, forum gurus!
