 * Fantastic plugin, just it seems to not work well with the default permalink setting.
   My site has a link structure like “domain/?p=123”, and it will only forward URLs
   that are in that format. I if I go to a link, for example:
 * [http://greatwords.info/404](http://greatwords.info/404)
 * it will forward to
 * [http://greatwords.info/404/](http://greatwords.info/404/)
 * Will I have to change to another permalink structure or is there a fix? Many 
   thanks.

 * Sorry, I realised that the “Broken Link Manager” is erasing the .htaccess contents.
   So actually what I’m getting is just a “Not Found” error.
