How to use:
Q: I have an older forum with 1 million posts. How long will it take to convert all IMG tags to attachments?
A: Several hours is normal.
Q: Some hot linked image are not converted, why is this?
A: If a hot linked image is either too small or too large, or the dimensions are not able to be read, those images are not converted and will require manual conversion.

A: Each attachment is saved separately, however this is not a problem these days as disk space is so inexpensive.

A: No.
