Wait, so setting a redirect to expire doesn't actually remove the redirect from the forum view but simply makes the link cease working?
In that case, I can't possibly see the utility of the "expire" option and probably won't ever use it again, since the only reason I ever used it was to make it so the redirect didn't clutter up the forum after it ceased to be useful.
