Hi,
I consider changing a board from phpBB to vB and, at the same time, moving to a different domain.
Can broken links, both internally and externally be avoided (e.g. by mod_rewrite)?
Internally:
Many threads within the forum have links to other threads within the forum, which need to be changed to the new urls.
How can I accomplish that?
Externally:
The forum has an adjoint main site that contains a lot of links to specific threads within the forum.
The forum is also well spidered by search engines.
All of these links will be broken once the forum is moved and imported.
Is there any way of re-directing most of these links correctly?
Can there be renaming rules established and executed even on the level of threads?
Thanks for help
