How to convert links from previous site

[comment]

Is there a method to convert links to specific topics/posts to the new system? For example, I have a link to a post in this format:

http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/196029/post/294075/#294075

or:

http://fmforums.com/forum/showpost.php?post/266405

or to a topic:

http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/172518/

All these lead to an error page now: Error code: 2T187/2

These url formats were from the legacy system before the last upgrade. I will look at my filemaker database i have that i copied all the old threads into and see what the topic was and the corresponding new url for these topics.

​These URLs worked until the last upgrade. I have about a hundred of them, legacy from what used to be my blog here.

BTW, I see that some links in older posts were converted and are working, and some not.

if you wrap that old tile in quotes in the search it will result in the new url

I don't have any titles, only numbers - see my OP.

comment when i get home could export the post table with the topic titles and old post numbers as FMP that way you could possibly cross reference them

I may actually have the conversion table which was a join table  it took the old ID > new ID was used via a defunct php script.

Hi Stephen,

I gave you the titles of the Threads, and have of the threads on my Hard drive.

I also have the files that were uploaded.

@comment, would you prefer the file names or the links?

Oddly on my iPad I had to change/resave the bookmark for new content but the old bookmark/URL still works fine on my laptop.

​Frankly, I would prefer not to put any more work into this. I've already done this twice before.
