 * Hello,
    I made some changes in my blog and put the Twitter of the authors, but
   one of them complete the wrong form, using only “@username” instead “twitter.
   com/username”.
 * Now I have and “<link>/@<username>” in “Not Found” of the Google Webmaster Tools.
   If I only make and redirection from “<link>/@<username>” to “<link>/<username
   >” it doesn’t redirect, so I can’t resolve the Webmaster Tool problem.
 * Anyone have an fix for that?

 * I´m having similar problems. Redirection rules don’t seem to get activated when
   the source URL contains non-valid URL characters (according to wordpress) even
   if the target URL is a valid one.
 * I´d appreciate any input on this.

 * It solved my problem when I marked the input “regular expression”, at least for
   the @. Did you try it? I don’t know what really does, but worked.
