Thanks for the link. Its for Apache, I am on nginX but thanks all the same.
I was just curious if there was a simple way to force the URLs. People don't normally type out URLs I was just curious if there was a simple way to ensure that if someone did type something in it would ensure lowercase if not convert to lower then attempt the URL. Everything on the site is 100% lowercase, I was just curious more so that actually caring :) If you get a 404 because your typing the url then that's just your problem, that's why we put links there so you don't have to type them :) Just seems like more work for the .1% who might.
