Merge does not respect the threadid vbulletin #293

Merge does not respect the threadid number?

I have done the merge from vbulletin but the url ID is different:

vbulletin --> showthread.php?t=141301 Mybb -----> showthread.php?tid=107762

How can I redirect one to the other?

It is that if not, it would lose the google indexing of years.

Hi, i think the reason is, that you can merge into an exist MyBB with threads.

The vBulletin ThreadID is temporary stored in "import_tid"

https://github.com/mybb/merge-system/blob/a5883f35f6d247758da7a15af4420b0b03fdaaa6/boards/vbulletin5/threads.php#L39-L40

The value "tid" (which is used in the url) is generated by auto_increment. Maybe, but untested, you can add th following:

$insert_data['tid'] = $data['threadid'];

But note, than you shouldn't have any theads in your MyBB.
