Why don't we use a forum instead of this "AQ" page?

Because the forums (otherwise known as message boards or bulletin boards) are great for holding conversations, but sometimes poor for reaching conclusions. At least here someone can edit my inane comment, sparing future readers the agony of reading it.

Why not post "answers" on a page related to the question?

Because some users, while quite willing to enter the text, can't figure out where to put it. This page at least provides a home for the answer until it can be moved elsewhere. It also means that searchers may find the answer here.

Why doesn't my redirect file work?

When doing test, you probably don't want to use the "index.php" name to don't kill your site at first. But be aware that the redirect line you have to include is a php script and must be pasted in any file with the "php" extension", for example "test.php", not any test.html...
