Mod Rewrite: Redirecting PHP Pages to seperate directories

[jgd12345]

Hi I wish to access my files at

http://www.domain.ext/forum/threads/165

instead of

http://www.domain.ext/forum/viewthread.php?tid=165

So I created a .htaccess file (and put it in the forum directory) with the following content:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^forums/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+) forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^forums/([0-9]+) forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=$1
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+) forum/viewthread.php?tid=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+) forum/viewthread.php?tid=$1

But it does not want to work. I'd be greatful if anyone could help me out. Thanks

Hi this is sorted now. Needed to change ^threads to ^forum/threads. Silly me.
