I've configured to 301 old dynamic versions to the new FURLs and TESTED THOROUGHLY, even using the header checker here at Webmasterworld. Everything is set up correctly.
Google has already started recognising the new FURLs and indexing them over the old version, so I'm totally convinced all is technically correct...
However...
I just noticed a thread that was started a few days ago (i.e. there was never any dynamic version of the thread available) in the Yahoo results listed in it's dynamic version!
Immediately, I checked the server headers for that thread... 301 from dynamic to FURL... all is technically correct...
How on earth is Yahoo finding this version and indexing it?!
So, Yahoo can't handle 301's, reads the anchor text and indexes that instead... pffft.
