Forum title 'history'

[Chroder]

A lot of the people using vBSEO have it set up so their forum titles are used to map to the forum and without a forum id. If you change a forum title, then any references to the old one won't work (the actual forum display, since thread titles have thread ids most of the time).

So how about creating a forum title 'history', that saves maybe the last forum title. Just storing the old forum title when the admin changes it. Then when a a request is made to a forum where vBSEO can't map to, look in the forum title history to see if they should be perm-redirected to the new one.

Did that make sense?

Hello Chris,

this feature was not implemented due to possible performance impact and possible URL formats conflicts. However, we have a "Custom 301 redirects" feature in the new vBSEO, so you can easily add redirections in this case, like:

'old-forum-title/(.*)' => 'new-forum-title/$1'

Btw, the showthread URLs are redirected automatically when thread titles is changing
