I’m trying to improve the permalink redirects on the vbulletin importer. Vbulletin can have any of several URL formats. My solution is to create generic permalinks which will then be handled by permalink normalizations. Like this: Old URL: http://somesite/forums/f38/slug-blah-blah-blue-11769.html …
