    For a while I've been putting this off, as it took me a major script rewrite (Impex's "404" script) which now lets old-style forum urls (ie, /viewtopic.php?t=323) correspond to their correct thread/forums/posts/members link from the old phpBB style to the new vBulletin style, which'll hopefully let search engines reindex us faster, as well as allow the old style topic (such as ones in FF.Net profiles and chapters) still work. Enjoy!

    And if you didn't understand my explanation interjected with tech talk, in a nutshell it means old phpBB-style URLs are now redirected to their equivalent vBulletin URLs. Ie:

    Thanks for that. I thought about whining about this problem a while back, but I figured you're probably already on it.

    Now if you could just finish all the icons (especially "quick reply" one, in the lower right corner of each post), that'd be great :)

    meh. DGD did the buttons, I did the icons and touched up a few of the icons, I gave up on it after Xiph told me one of my icon's sucked after like 2 hours of work, so blame him for me not bothering with the rest the twat =P
