HTTP 302 are not safe at ALL for SEs.
The good thing is it is possible to properly redirect all the VB urls to the phpBB ones, using the safe HTTP 301 redirection.
The process won't necessarily be using .htaccess, it could end up being a mix between mod rewrite and php. It depends on if you where previously using url rewriting with VB.
If so, we should be able to do all the redirecting adding few rewriterules and let the zero dupe do its job.
In such case, the idea would be to link the VB rewriterules to the phpBB scripts properly :
| Code: | | vb-style-url => .htaccess & mod_rewrite => phpBB script => zero dupe : HTTP 301 redirection => phpbb-style-url |
And voilà, one single HTTP 301 redirection in all cases.
So please tell me if you where using VB with url rewriting, if so, I'd only need an example of all type of rewritten URLs (forum, topics, posts, profiles etc) since VB's .htaccess does not use per case rewriterules, you'll need custom ones.
If it's not the case, it depends. I'd need to know the difference between VB and phpBB urls to be able to set up a redirection strategy.
By the way, phpBB2 or phpBB3 ?

What I need is a bit simpler, I just need to know how your vb URL looks like, usually it's similar to :
| Code: | forumxx/
xx-topic-title.html
member/xx.html
xx-topic-title-post.html
xx-topic-title-new-post.html |
But it could be different on your forum.
Please give me a sample URL for each type of page with URL rewriting, and I'll give you the rewriterules to use for a smooth migration
