This happens in almost every sub-forum. Notice also how certain topics shows on multiple pages.IIRC it had something to do with the new server or database setup not supporting negative topic IDs, but I could be wrong.
Aren't negative post IDs causing problems too or is it just because of the topic IDs?Also why not incrementing by +100000 so that the redirect script can also work on all 17084 topics with positive IDs (by redirecting, for example, topic #5000 to topic #105000, rather than #7597, which might already exist)? Else with +2597 increment, redirecting would cause overlapping to occur.
Oh ok so just the old IDs would change? Keep in mind that to sort by date you'll most likely have to write a SMF mod yourself (since modifying the forum code directly can prevent installing official security patches). I asked for such mod before, but the people weren't cooperative and kept arguing that SMF sorted by date, even if it's not the case.That said, it is entirely possible that SMF 2.0 does it by default, but I could be wrong. You might have to rewrite the mod for 2.0 when the upgrade happens.
