Prior to XF days, my site was integrated with PostImage.org. A users image uploads were automatically stored at postimage.org and the post with URL link and embedded display via IMG tags, so that the image showed directly within the post via [IMG ] tags.
At some stage I used https://xenforo.com/community/resources/convert-image.2521/ to import/attach hot linked images into XF storage.
The bb code reference to these images is now, for example:
Attachment ID 83645 exists at data/attachments/83/83643-<redacted>.jpg
At the time of running the above add-on (to import hot linked images) the postimage.org IMG tags didn't work correctly, and thus it's imported a placeholder stub from PostImage ...
PostImage's old URL format of http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aV4xChjS is automatically redirected by PostImage server to new URL of https://postimg.io/image/m19yewhyx/
I would like to achieve one of two options;

I would like to achieve one of two options;
- Use find/replace add-on, or direct SQL query, to adjust the above bb code and remove the [ATTACH ] tags so that it only leaves the existing URL hyperlink. Bonus if I there was a way to map the old URL to the new URL, and replace the URL too.
- Replace the stub image file stored at data/attachments/83/ with the real image file from PostImage.
