It's not as simple as that.

ISAPI_Rewrite is very difficult to setup and you need to create dozens of rules many of which would need to be customised to your specific setup.

Have a word with them over at ISAPI_Rewrite and ask them to point you in the right direction as they use Web Wiz Forums for their own support forum.

Hi!
 
As Borg said, you would have to write alot of rules to cover the whole forum and it´s URL, but to the rules would be quite simple - here is an example for the rewrite of topic display:

RewriteRule ^forum/forum_topics-FID-(\d+)-PN-(\d+)\.html$ forum_topics.asp?FID=$1&PN=$2 [NC,L]
 
The default URL would be: ".../forum/forum-topics.asp?FID=20&PN=1
With URl rewrite the URL would be: ../forum/forum_topisc-FID-20-PN-1.html
 
Although this is simple, you also have to edit the URL´s in the source-code of the forum, as they don´t get rewritten by default, which is quite some work!!!
 
If the purpose is to gain better ranking on searchengins, I surgest to take it even further, and include the name of the topics in the URL!
 
For tips on doing this, you could browse the forum at http://www.helicontech.com/forum/ (yes, they use Web Wiz Forum Wink)

Hi Kir:
   The intent would be to rewrite the topic into the URL.  Then using the right keywords in the topic would make a gangbuster's URL.

Hi Bruce:
   Most impressive that you took a suggestion from a post and integrated it into the core version.  I think this will do wonders in the search engines.  Thank you for implementing this feature.  I can't wait to play with it.
