I have a question - I have 3 old forums that are no longer open yet the threads in those forums show up in search results. If I delete those forums, will the threads no longer show up in search results, or will they show up as broken links? Will I have to rebuild the search index after deleting forums?

...and you changed it to be indexed, then you will need to rebuild the index.

Assuming you delete the thread via the Admin CP or forum options (and not the directly in the db) then the index should update to reflect this.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)
