It's a bit beyond me, but if I work it out I'll post it here!

I just did this - here is the .htaccess. It is a WIP. It WILL reforward "Skuzzy-style" links into your vb3 archive but it 404's when you hit the archive navigation directory tree links.

Maybe some of us can work on making a complete solution? I'd like to get this seamless.

Copy this into notepad, save as .htaccess and upload into your forums/archive directory: (I have no idea what I am doing, but I assume if you have >100,000 threads, you will have to add another [0-9]).
