Freddy VERY NICE brand new project.
I think it would be useful if you add functionality to edit not the only dead links in topic but also ALL posts in it. Or some posts on pages you want replace it even if links are alive, example 'edit only first 10 posts in topic' or 'edit only first 10 pages in topic'. or parse all links in topic and replace it with new posts from a text file with separator.

Also I see there is function "Edit any of your post." but can it be massive change of meesages by new posts? for example I want replace dead link posts by new ones. Not the dead links but full post with dead links.

Or am I so inattentive and software already have this?

Peace.

You can replace specific text in all posts [FAQ: 3.5]
You can extract and replace links only from specific posts (from one topic for example using filter) [FAQ: 3.4]

I don't see a point to replace whole post. Why would you want to replace description, etc.? You spend so much time when posting to make it and now you just want to replace it. Doesn't really makes sense.

Wouldn't it be easier post your posts normally?

Posting bad posts will just make bad impression for people who view it first. Also they might look like spam / flood.

Gave it more thought.

There are other problems:

1. Forums save posts differently, some convert bbCode to uppercase and others don't support that. Others add quotes or other things. Also you might have custom footers / custom phrases in posts.

2. code / quote / hide tags etc. Some forums require code others quote and so on.

3. Banned hosts. Some forums don't allow some hosts.

So it's really a bad idea to edit posts replacing everything.

themaPoster can deal with 2 and 3 automatically already and you should do those things when posting.

You should do those things when posting.

Even if I did that there is problem number 1 which can't be dealt easily.

Posting not formatted random posts and later changing them 100% sounds like spaming / flooding. I wouldn't want that in my forum and I not gonna tolerate that as well by making this possible.

Yes sounds like some kind of spam. Example A person might make a legit post that gets approved and made visable to the masses. Then the poster makes changes it to their "Approved" post to a nasty spam message. Sounds janky to me as well.
