Thanks so much Ted for your addition. At first glance, it looks like it should work fine. To everyone else out there, what Ted is proposing is that the URL look like this, given that forum #2 has the name DaniWeb Community: f2-daniweb-community.html - The forum system parses the forum id as 2 (hence no need for a loooong .htaccess) and the URL is still keyword rich.
