You can &#8220;Edit Post&#8221; or &#8220;Discard&#8221; to remove the message about a broken link, but not the link itself (so it will show up again later unless you fix it). Using &#8220;Unlink&#8221; removes the link from the post. If references to missing images are found, they will be listed along with the links, with &#8220;[image]&#8221; in place of link text. <\/p>\n<p>Very cool plugin &#8212; don't know why I didn't look for it sooner.
