Upgraded to a new forum, need to redirect

[AndyJC]

Hi all, I just upgraded my forum from mamboboard to fireboard. My links have changed from

//slaptear.com/component/option,com_mamboboard/Itemid,23/func,view/catid,13/id,5681/#5681

to

//slaptear.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,23/func,view/catid,13/id,5681/#5681

Is there a good way to do this with htaccess? I'd like to keep the links I have listed in the search engines.

Thanks,
Andy

My cousin implemented the following rule on his website:


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.[a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6} [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6})$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]


This is passing the old indexed links to their corresponding under the new domain name.

However I think this is the way to go finding the workaround for your specific question.
