Link Path not redirecting

[gotworship]

AS an example, I set up a contest to run on the following page:

got worship? | Contest | got worship?

The Link Path is set as "/contest/" and the redirect is to got worship? | Contest | got worship? .

When I put in my twitter username, for example...the link I get is:

http://gotworship.net/contest/jasonwhitehorn

When I click the link....I get my lovely 404 page.

Thoughts? Why isnt the redirect page working?

The Link Path structure MUST match your permalink structure.

From the URLs you posted I see that your page links are in the format

"http://gotworship.net/?page_id=1585"

With this setup your Contest Link Path needs to have the same format so instead of /contest/ you should use
/?p=8888/
8888 is just some number you make up it should NOT be a real page, just use a number higher than any existing page.
