PHPBB to Vbulletin 4.x Import with Impex

[griffinpower]

So I am running Vbulletin 4.1.2 right now and did an import using Impex last year from PHPBB3 and it went well.

Here is a sample post where this can be seen.

I am starting to see an issue though in some threads that were not accessed for a while. The redirect links that correlate to the PHPBB thread ID's are not working in all threads.

Can I run the 404 script again to fix this issue or is there any other way to fix this? My users are starting to get annoyed.



Thank you in Advance.

Oh yikes. I can see where a url like "I will not go into the tuning bit here, look here:http://forum.ecuproject.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1226" would get mangled by Impex. Or more accurately, just ignored by Impex.

I can't imagine a fix short of manually going in and correcting it.

That's what I thought.... UGH!!!

Are manual corrections really that onerous? Are there thousands of them, or only a few?

At worst I would think you could hire a typist fairly cheaply to do a custom search and do the corrections.

There are a few thousand corrections to make....I am starting the process now to go through them all and fix them... it should only take a month or so I hope.
