    I had recently changed the directory of my forum and some of the pages were already indexed by google.

    I need a rewrite to look for the old URL and send it to the new main forum page. The URL types are totally different so I dont expect it to send them to the correct thread.

    I want to intercept anything with the word "forum" in it and send it to "sports/index.php".

    Example of old URL:
    www.url.com/forum/board-name/thread-name.msg120334.html

    Needs to be sent to:
    www.url.com/sports/index.php


    Thanks
