 * Hi
 * I installed wordpress in two places on my server. one for the forum and another
   was so I could experiment with customisations etc. Well, I want to use the second
   one now – a year later – i exported and imported the posts from the old one, 
   but the images are all still linked back to their root folder wp-content/uploads..
 * I was wondering, how could I import the old images into the new one without loosing
   their places in posts? and if I just download the entire wp-contents folder, 
   uninstalled the old wordpress and reuploaded the old wp-contents folder to the
   same place, would it work?
