This will require remapping post ID's in the database and creating a custom 404 error page redirect. A solution is being sought after, but no promises.
Ok, this is done. All old threads that reference other old threads with hyperlinks in the post body are now being redirected. This is an awesome, slick piece of work by a fine database programmer. Thanks so much!
If you happen to stumble upon an exception that doesn't work, please let me know.
