Can anyone else help me with setting up domain.com/forum/username without the user number in the URL?

How do I do this? I thought I had to set vbSEO to forward to the old vbulletin links and then set those to forward to the ipboard links. That is where I am lost, Im not sure how to do this. And also, so, is it possible to have domain.com/forum/username instead of domain.com/forum/userID-username?

I have two questions. 1. I have seen it mentioned but cant find it on here, how do I set up the 301 redirects for my current set up to point to the ipboard install? I dont want to lose my currently indexed pages. 2. It is very important for me to have domain.com/username or at the very least domain.com/forum/username. I understand ipboard puts the userID number into the URL, but since vbulletin does not I dont want those links to die, plus for the type of site I am setting up it looks better. I have over 40,000 members and do not want each member having to remember their userID when they give their profile URL out. So basically this is a must for me. Any tips? Thanks guys. Otherwise awesomely informative website AWS, it is what got me interested in the conversion in the first place!
