XF 1.2 regex - what to change vbulletin4 vbseo links to

[audiokid]

I would love to replace vbulletin vbseo links posted on my forums to XenForo now.
I already have the htaccess rewrites in place for this but would love to replace any links on my forum post with regex.

Here is an example of one on my forum.
Any help with the replacement would be appreciated.

Normally you would use this addon:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/post-content-find-replace.1549/

The problem is that you can't build the full canonical URL with regex replacements. That would require a PHP script to build proper links. Otherwise the new links will look like this:

http://recording.org/index.php?threads/55207/

The site is currently off but your example actually went to that thread http://recording.org/index.php?threads/55207/

But it rewrote to it, is that because the mod rewrite is rewriting the 55207 ?

XF itself canonicalizes requests for important routes like "threads" such that using just the id will redirect.

XenForo is cool, thanks
