Redirect a showthread.php link?

I've moved a couple of my forum threads to an external application (vBadvanced Dynamics) and I'm wanting to redirect the forum thread to the new page.

Originally I redirected the new vBSEO link (thread-name), but most people are coming from external links that have the old showthread.php link. I've tried doing it under the cPanel, but it drops the thread number at the end.

Ie instead of redirecting showthread.php?t=23586, it drops it back to just 'showthread.php' which of course doesn't work.

Would anyone know how I would go about redirecting an old showthread.php forum thread to somewhere else?

You can put this in .htaccess right after "RewriteEngine on" line:
Code:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=XXX$
RewriteRule ^showthread\.php$ http://www.domain.com/yournewurl [L,R=301]

I assume I edit the "^t=XXX$ part to the thread number? IE ^t=23586$ ?
