VB4 to IPB4 Converter, 301 Redirects?

[AaronP]

Using VBSEO with VB4.X

Does IPB have a way of doing 301 redirects from old content to new so I don't completely ruin my search engine rankings?

Yes they do - I can't remember where the info is though as its been a few years but i'm sure there is some info on it somewhere

This is a re-write I have for vB+vbseo to IPB4 (note this was vB with VBSEO .html urls) as an example in .htaccess

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

# Old vBseo Rewrites
RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+-([\d]+).html http://yourwebsite.whatever/showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+.html http://yourwebsite.whatever/showthread.php?t=$1 [NC,L]
