Pretty much what the title says. In the forum dashboard there is a series of buttons. one of them is "Rebuild Thread", what does that do? 

I am spending some time renaming some threads on my forum. But the URL of the thread doesn't change when I change the title. I would really like the URL to change too. Is there a way to change this? Is this what this buttons does? 

Please let me know 🙂

@tutrix Thanks mate, so is there anyway to remake URLs of posts after changing the title?

I've never used Rebuild Thread, so I can't tell you if it changes urls.
The url is in the database as a slug if you want to change it to match the new title.
But keep in mind that if the topics are already listed in search engines, they will not be found (error 404).
