I dont need this, but thought i'd check the above, as that would be important.

It took me a few minutes to figure out what you were talking about, but I think you've misunderstood the purpose of this script.

Let's just say you used phpBB2 for a while, maybe a few years. Not everybody would link directly to the forum home page, there might be hundreds of websites directly linking to threads on your forum.
Now, when you switch to vBulletin, anyone who clicks a link to one of those threads from another site will be shown your 404 page, even though the thread still exists. This is because the URL for that thread has now changed.

With my script in place, if someone clicks on a phpBB2 link on another site, and you have since switched to vBulletin, instead of giving a "Page Not Found" error it will silently redirect you to the new vBulletin thread.

Try the 2 demo links in my first post and it should help you understand
