On many of my older find logs.... dating prior to about June 2003.... if I 
remember, there use to be a field that you could put a link to your personal 
web site in your log. It shows up in your log as 'users web page'. That old 
web page link of mine is no longer active and it hasnt been active in over 2 
years. I have a new web site addy now. Anyways, I just happened to be 
looking at one of my old logs and I clicked on my users web page and to my 
suprise, it now links to a porn site! Is there a way to remove these links 
from all my logs without editing all of them? I can tell yall right now, I 
am not going back thru the probably 500 or more logs just to remove the 
link!!! Does anyone know of a system or way that I can remove all those 
links? I tried one of the logs and I 'edited' the log... and the link did 
not remove. However, when I deleted the log and re listed it.. the link was 
gone. Now, a very large amount of those old caches are now archived (any 
suprise?) and it is possible I might not be able to go back into those 
archived caches anyways to relist my logs (not edit, but delete and repost 
them). But, quite frankly... I am not going to do this to every single cache 
log dating from Jan 2002 thru June of 2003. There are probably 500 or 800 or 
something finds between then!!!

Again, this is the 'users web page' that appears on top of my logs.. not a 
link that was inserted somewhere in my logs. This 'users web page' was 
actually a field that you could put a web link into when logging your 
find... if I recall. Alot of these caches are archived anyways, so those 
probably dont matter much. There are many that are active, although I dont 
think anyone is going to be reading my logs or any logs from that far down 
the list on a cache page anyways. Further yet, how many of the few that do 
are actually going to click on the web link anyways. But I would like to 
remove the links if there is any easy way of doing so. The web site isnt 
active anymore anyways.... and well, now it is a porn site (and not mine!) 
:)

I dont want to take this issue to GC.com as I dont want them to remove all 
my logs... I sure as heck aint typing them all in again!!! Perhaps they are 
reading this listserv anyways... I dont know. Any thoughts or comments on 
that?

Otherwise, does anyone know how I might remove all those links without 
re-posting all my logs?

Thanks!
