I meant after the replacement string. I have a `/` at the end of my RE (right?), but not the end of the replacement.

I don’t know. Perhaps not. In other systems I’ve seen various cruft after the URL (as the example replacement suggests). I’m probably safe removing that last `.*` to be sure.

####To recap:

Normalization: `/forums\/f[0-9]+\/.+-([0-9])+\.html/oldlinks\/topics\/thread-\1`

- works: [http://localhost:3000/oldlinks/topics/thread-11769](http://localhost:3000/oldlinks/topics/thread-11769)
- no joy: [http://localhost:3000/forums/f38/a-bunch-of-words-11769.html](http://localhost:3000/forums/f38/a-bunch-of-words-11769.html)

I’ve checked the regex at [http://regexr.com/](http://regexr.com/) & it seems to work there. I’ve done something similar in the past. I’m stumped.
