The answer is rewriting!

RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)/s([^/]*)/$ /forumdisplay.php?forumid=$1&s=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)/s([^/]*)/thread\.html$ /showthread.php?threadid=$1&s=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^[ft]([0-9]+)/s([^/]*)/(.+)$ /$3 [L]

I've modified the first 2 rules a bit to make things easier. The 3rd rule simply changes any URL like "/f1/s1/newreply.php" that sould normally cause a problem and just rewrites it to "/newreply.php". This should also work for any images. No need to muck with templates.

where were you when i added this hack

what i did for my subsequent styles was create replacement variables for form and other urls and it works but i'll try your method when an upgrade to the next release might force me to revert too many templates
