    Is there a way of redirecting showpost urls to showthread urls?

    I forgot to turn off my showpost urls in vbseo sitemap generator and now google has indexed a lot of my showpost urls. I'd like to get them to 301 to the thread that they came from instead of showing to users/spiders (to stop duplicate content). Is this possible to do with vBSEO?

    E.g.
    Health Forums - View Single Post - Re: WILLY FROM IOPLIST.COM ---> BEWARE SCAMMER!

    Should 301 to Re: WILLY FROM IOPLIST.COM ---> BEWARE SCAMMER! - Health Forums


    Thanks

    vBSEO 3.0.0 RC8 - Admin Control Panel -> LinkBacks (Ping/Track/Refbacks) -> Permalinks -> Replace post number link with Permalink

    Replace post number link with Permalink
    Will replace individual showpost links with the "Permalink" link. Note: Posts will no longer be accessible individually.

    and old links will be 301 to the tread links.
