I unfortunately can't post code, sorry. It'd just be useless, as nothing works.

Basically my problem is this: I have a website. It's a forum, so everything is located in domain.com/forum. Since there's threads, each thread looks something like this.

domain.com/forum/thread.php?threadID=3

How can I make that look like this?

domain.com/forum/threads/title-of-the-thread.html

(The title of the thread is the <title> tag of the page, if that helps)

Like WT?

Thanks

-PG

BTW, I'm a complete noob at mod_rewrite, I've gotten it to change one filename to another, but the file had to exist. I don't want to make a new file and a new directory for every thread (I've tried RewriteRule ^page.php$ /test/location/, but it says /test/location/ doesn't exist). I just want it to mask it, and if the user types in domain.com/forum/threads/title-of-the-thread.html, it should show domain.com/forum/thread.php?threadID=3.

No idea how to do this

Thanks again

Which application is it?
vbulletin, phpbb, smf...?

It's my own forum system

I worked through a similar problem by following this as a guideline:

I didn't learn enough of it to help you now, and I'm sure I've lost the code. However what you need should be there.

Thanks, andrei155! I will read that

It should be something regarding your postname

but since it's your own code and you didn't provide it we can't really help you trought
