So, I created a blog link (form forum post used to WP blog post) - it worked! But, then after a change of mind I deleted the WP blog post. From the forum I could not see a way to delete the blog link. So, any user who might click on the 'Read the original blog post' results in a 404 (as the WP blog is now deleted). Is there any way to break this forum link and remove it without deleting the entire post?

It would be great if you could add the functionality to toggle posts blog link ON/OFF. So admin can push any forum topic even ones that have been posted for some time to display in WP blog. And, after a change of mind they can just toggle to deactivate the blog link (removing the WP blog post and disabling the simplepress blog link).

I was under the impression that it should delete the link automatically if the blog post is nor found so I had better take a look at that.

Open up the forum so you see the linked topic in the list (forum view). Open the forum tools aganist that topic and there should be a 'break link' tool there...
