Multiple URL's

[Wayne B]

Seasons Greetings to all..... 

Just interested on getting some ideas/suggestions on the best way to handle the following;

Several communities - merged into one using the conversion tools - once this is complete how would be best to keep all the old url's alive from several other domains to refer to the post on the new merged community. Effectively having the domains mapped to the new community so that search engine results still generate traffic to the specific post/thread until they are updated by the bots.

Is there a fairly easy way to achieve it?

Thanks

The best thing you can do is have all the domains permanently redirect to your new one.

You could create some rewrite rules to have IPS redirect old topic URLs and so on to the new IPS links (this is something I've done for a client before), but this is a more complex task that will likely require some custom work done.
