Take a look at this url from a phpbb board of mine that is pretty SEO friendly.
If you go to the seorecruit.com forum home you will see that all the links to my forums are in a .htm format with no trailing forward slash.Now,i understand if there is a need to have the forward slash,but if so then why not just omit the .html.I know its possible as the new RC2 has the option of getting rid of the .html,but this also eliminates it in the thread urls,where id prefer to have it.

I would consider this as a "feature request" :)
