It's not hard at all to redirect phpbb3 link to the new vb4 links. Specific instructions are here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp…1&postcount=72 you can download the required 404.php from the same topic.

Why is it dumb? Well all your old internal links are now broken. Not a good user experience. Plus, all old external links are now broken. Other sites linking to topics here are broken, all search engine links indexed are broken. You're wasting years of reputation and link building. Other than simply deleting the url, it's the surest way to kill a site.

P.s. Also upgrade to 4.2.1, and don't display your forum version (make it harder for bot hacking scripts).

Please try by going to Advanced Editor.

I also increased the maximum character count for thread titles.
