XF 2.1 What's redirection notice while moving threads from one forum to another forum?

[sajal]

We want to merge a lot of forums into one, can we have any short cut for this, I can see that I can do that from front-end via "Move threads" feature. We've millions of records...

Also there's some "Redirection notice..." feature as well. What exactly for that, since I guess threads urls won't change even after moved to another forum.

I've forums X, Y, Z and I want to move all threads of this forums to A forum. Following would be enough...??

update xf_thread set node_id = new_id WHERE node_id = old_id

Or do I have to go through front-end and compulsary use the "move threads" feature??

I've millions of threads and I am afraid it would long hours and hours!

Use the batch update threads function in the ACP.

Thread URLs do not change when moving them to other forums.
