vBulletin 4.x how does vbseo handle thread changes -TEST?

[disgust]

if someone has old thread urls linked that have the thread slug in it from the old title, and the thread is changed, will those urls now 404?

All threads go by ID.
When you move a thread with a redirect, vb directs it as it saved a record of the old thread and does a refresh to the new threadID.

If you chose not to leave a vb redirect (recommended), it keeps that same thread id, with a new title or move, and does a 301 to that resource.

sorry, i meant if the thread title is changed, not if the forum for it is changed

ie old url is

site.com/f2/threadnum-name/

new thread name would make it

site.com/f2/threadnum-newname/

if someone goes to a link from "name" would they get a 404 or would they be redirected?
