Not a bug After import, VB archived links lead to 404

[Andy.N]

Migrated site from vb 3.8.6 version, put in the vb 3.8 redirection script by Kier.
Today, I google something and found archived links on my sites are not redirected, but leads to 404

The same thread is now at http://www.quantnet.com/forum/threads/debug-quantnet-code-php.657/

That's because it's the archive, and not showthread.php or forumdisplay.php

Fair

That's because it's the archive, and not showthread.php or forumdisplay.php

Fair enough. Is there anyway we can redirect those?
I imagine forums with hundred thousands of posts would have a large number of archived posts like mine. And my site is pretty stock with no vbSEO or anything.

Ok, I hunt down that thread and XF imported it to
http://www.quantnet.com/forum/threads/debug-quantnet-code-php.657/

So it's appears threads are there but archived links aren't redirected.

Not strictly a bug, as the redirection scripts are a separate, non-"official" part of XF. Though it could be useful to redirect those elements.
