Thank you again.

I have one final question (I know, lots of questions).

I thought I had my old tags redirecting properly, but google webmaster tools has a bunch of not found urls, 509 to be exact.

They all look like this:

http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...-time-through/
http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...2-nominations/
http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...08-graduation/

etc....

Once those links are clicked, they "change":

http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...08-graduation/

like so. So /tags/ isn't redirecting them. I tried a /tags. but that didn't work.

It almost seems like the /tags/ redirect is redirecting them but there's a problem. Instead of just redirecting them to the main tags area, it's appending whatever comes after the /tags/ to the redirect location (in this case /tags.php) so I end up with /tags.index.php/*******

I'm guessing my redirect is improperly formed, I hope this makes sense. I've tried a number of permutations but basically I just want any /tags to redirect to http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php without appending whatever else was on the link to the end of it.

As always, I really appreciate it, I don't know what I'd do without this forum.
