unable to view the winners of the operation firefox contest

steps to reproduce:

1)  visit http://www.operationfirefox.com/index.php
2)  click on "mission complete: view the winning agents"

I see:

"Not Found

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here."

(see attached screen shot)

we appear to be going to:

http://blog.mozilla.com/operationfx/2007/12/14/declassified-information-and-the-winner-is.../

but that url doesn't work (even though in the blog, we claim that is the perm link for that entry)

I'd expect to see what I see when I visit http://blog.mozilla.com/operationfx/ (but that just works because "2007/12/14/declassified-information-and-the-winner-is..." is the last entry.)

It's because of the periods in the URL, most likely.

I attempted to remove the ... from the end of the permalink stub on the blog entry, but the edit doesn't seem to take.  It shows that it's corrected after I edit it, but then if I reload the edit page, it changes back to the old one again.  Trying to manually visit the one I changed it to redirects me to the broken one. :(

oremj?

An older version of wordpress mu inserted postnames with periods and now they are no longer supported.  The fix is to remove the periods from post_name in the database.  Fixed now.
