Did I do something wrong?

The link has "/home/killbill/public_html" in it. This link works fine - http://www.killbillet.com/showthread...nt-for-headers So, you added something wrong into your redirect.

Like this?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase
RewriteRule ^member/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ member.php?$1-$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)/(.*)/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ showthread.php?$3-$4 [R=301,L]

That didnt work... It broke the website. how should it be structured. Thanks!

[Dave]

You didn't copy it correctly. There's a slash missing after the rewritebase line.

[CnfsdWhtGuy]

Thanks Dave. Should have spent a bit longer looking at it. I did not include the rewritebase line initially and I just shoved it in this morning without looking at your template. It is up and running now. Thanks! Hopefully this will show less errors tomorrow.

So I have set up the redirects you sent me and I have been waiting to see some of the errors drop off from my google webmaster page but they havent. I even click links for issues they say exist and it works properly. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

I'm not that familiar with Google Webmaster Tools but doesn't it take a couple of days?

It can take upwards if not more than 24hrs to update and the data shown can differ from Google Analytics too depending on the last time the site was crawled.

Alright guys, I have cleared the que of errors and marked them as fixed. When I log in the next day to see the new errors many of them are working links. I am not sure why it is still giving me an error...

See the picture. It lists the not found errors and the very first link in here is the one below. And it works. Why is it an error?

The detection date is quite old if you look at the right side of the page. Probably just some leftovers?

[CnfsdWhtGuy]

Ok so then I am confused. I cleared all of the current errors that were being shown. Why are there still old errors showing up?
