Will my old links still work?
 

Hi, I'm working on my dev site and I'm going live soon. I've currently got a phpbb2 forum up and running with internal links here and there.

When I go live with vbulletin, will my old links to my old forum threads still work?

Example, a current link to my phpbb2 LIVE forum right now is:
http://www.bogley.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20044

the same thread on my dev site is found at:
http://www.bogley.com/new-forum/showthread.php?t=37549

When I go Live, I'll change the url from new-forum, to forum. The differences will be the VIEWTOPIC and the SHOWTHREAD, along with the different numbers.

Will my external links on other websites still direct traffic to the correct vbulletin thread? I imagine there's some kind of mod rewrite for this. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
