# Tag permalink problem

 * Hi, i’ve a problem with wordpress 2.5.1 tag system. I have some tags permalink
   with the underscore, such as “abc_def”. When i put the tag on my article, it’s
   transformed automatically in “abc-def”, so i lost all links to precedent post
   tagged with the original one. When i try to change the tag from “abc-def” to “
   abc_def”, or eliminate it, nothing happens, so i have two tags with the same 
   object right now.
    How can i do to keep only “abc_def” without wordpress turns
   it into “abc-def”?
 * Thanks

 * I have the opposite problem with permalinks. Google Webmaster tools shows 200
   blog posts that are restricted by robots.txt. Every single post has underscores
   instead of dashes between words in the title.
 * I don’t think it’s my robots.txt file and I’d like to change all title slugs 
   to use dashes, whats the best way to do this? Crack open database table in fix
   in SQL?
