VBSEO URL to showthread.php URL?

[Floren]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking logically what is the best approach to switch a vbulletin forum with vbseo url's to xenforo, without loosing any links on Google. The process is:
vbseo url > showthread.php?t=xxx > Kier's 301 script > xenforo url

Let me know if you found any solutions.

Regards,

If your vBSEO URLs are in such a format that you can easily make rewrites for them leading to the redirection script (showthread.php) then it will just work. That's what I did anyway.

Ya, I was just talking with Kier about that, yesterday. All I have to do is create some Nginx basic rewrites and the problem is solved.
Thank you guys for your advice.
