Is there a way we can scan the forums for broken links? 

I use the broken link checker plug in, but not sure if that works on WPforo too. I would like to find any broken links on my forum, does any  one know how to do this?

Have tried creating a purposely broken link in a forum post to see if the plugin works there too?

@verek No mate lol, but there are plenty of YouTube links on the forum that do not show up in the broken links plugin. Any time YouTube show on my main articles, it shows as a warning, so I assume it is not seeing the links in the forum

I would also like to know that, if a link checker for the forums exist. I doubt it, since check a few thousands topics and posts, will bring down the site. Still .... if anyone knows ....

There is not any tool to check it. I'd recommend search some online tool.
