Search engine index results are broken, proposed fix.

[AccurateCalls]

I think it would be a good idea if you replaced the old 'showthread.php?t=xxxxxx' script with one that reads the 'http-get-parameters' for the thread ID, and then forwards to the corresponding thread on the new forum.

Otherwise all old Google searches now return a 404 not found. This is what such a script might look like:

<?php
//redirects from 'showthread.php?t=xxx' to 'index.php?threads/xxx'

// Get the thread ID 't' parameter from the URL
$thread_id = $_GET['t'];

// Redirect to the new URL format
header("Location: index.php?threads/$thread_id");
exit;

?>

Please note, I am not fluent in PHP, nor is web development anywhere near my expertise, and I did not test the script, but I believe the above should fix all broken search results.

Thank you, I will have a look.

Just fixed that, had to get the xenforo support on the ball, but they don't work on the weekends... So it took a while but it's working now.
Thanks for bringing this up AC!
