hey ive done some test imports of my phpbb forum to vb3 and its all worked fine.. just one thing! is there away i can keep my phpbb thread id's
i was hoping it would just be
viewtopic.php?t=26186
changed too
showthread.php?t=26186
so then i could us htaccess to something to redirect viewtopic to showthread
trouble is my board has lots of outside linkers, lots of threads are linked on other sites aswell as good search engine ranks..
is there anyway this can be done?? i do understand that search engines will pick things back up again.. but that doesnt help all the outside links.
NOTE: this import is just a simply move from phpbb to vb no other threads / users or posts to worry about.. just a fresh import
