Note: Your server must be able to support mod_rewrite.
To test, do the first part of the installation only (.htaccess)
and put in a url like this -> forum/test-t1.html
if it shows topic does not exist or shows the topic, then you may continue installing this mod.
If it doesn't work, you will have to setup your apache to work with mod_rewrite before installing this mod

- Older format urls now have a 301 redirect to preserve any previous pagerank.
- Now uses MOD Version Check
