Jason: The SQL for updating the cache is
UPDATE cur SET cur_cache="",cur_timestamp=cur_timestamp
as Brion mailed earlier. Please run that one.
Jimbo: The scipt that rebuilds the links is in the CVS. You probably checked it out already. I think it is called "rebuildLinks.php" or something similar... This will run several minutes! *Maybe* you should take the site offline for that, so the database doesn't get cunfused between user edits and that script.
What I said baout the Recent Changes is about the header ("Track the most recent changes..."), *not* the list of recent changes! It is a brief text, but it is loaded quite often, and each time, the database is checked for all those links in that text.
That's it for now, Magnus
