.phtml works on most servers by default FYI. Nice alternative to .php.

^^That would do what you asked for, IMO it's not a great way to do things, send me a link to the site you're on about and I'll write a proper htaccess for it, the rules below would turn fws into an se friendly environment, you'll notice the rules take on a slightly more efficient format ( ^forum/([0-9]+)/?$ ) so that rewrite knows when to do what, with the rule above keeping control over the rest of the sections on your site will be near on impossible.



RewriteEngine On
#Forumdisplay section
RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/forumdisplay.php?f=$1
# Showthread section
RewriteRule ^thread/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/showthread.php?p=$1
RewriteRule ^thread/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/showthread.php?p=$1#post$2


My suggestion for your rule would be


RewriteEngine On
# Suggested :
RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1/$2


Hope that helps.
