Now all my threads are having same "threadid" as previous forum

Can anyone tell me if this has any adverse affects or what I did is wrong? Everything seems to working fine and it took me just 5 mins to do this.

What's the advantage of using the 404 method described in this thread?

Thanks.


EDIT: Its actually not working properly. Can someone tell me if its possible to change the new ids with the ones in the importids column and would this work ?

I have exactly the same question. My former board was a vB 4 from which I imported all the threads, posts and users to a news vB 3.8.6. Now the IDs in the URLs like http://www.domain.de/forum/category/1234-thread-title.html are not the same like in the old vB 4 board. What can I do?
