What I tried was just enabling Yes (also tried extended).

I added this the the .htaccess file in the root of my site (public_html)
(My forum resides in /forum from public_html)

Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?catid=$2 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$		$1local_links.php?catid=$2&linkid=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/jump/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=jump&catid=$2&id=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/play/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=play&catid=$2&linkid=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)(\?page=[0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?catid=$2&page=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/play/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)(\?page=[0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=play&catid=$2&linkid=$3&page=$4 [R,L]

I also tried creating a new .htaccess file and putting it in my /forum director and it doesnt work, I put this

Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?catid=$2 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$		$1local_links.php?catid=$2&linkid=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/jump/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=jump&catid=$2&id=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/play/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=play&catid=$2&linkid=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)(\?page=[0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?catid=$2&page=$3 [R,L]
RewriteRule (.*)local_links/play/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)(\?page=[0-9]+)$	$1local_links.php?action=play&catid=$2&linkid=$3&page=$4 [R,L]

Like I said, its not a huge deal with me, but maybe I can help others who are struggling with this as well, it would be neat to figure out.

Try putting a forward slash in front of the second part of each of the rules, e.g.:

RewriteRule (.*)local_links/links/c-[^/]+-([0-9]+)$	/$1local_links.php?catid=$2 [R,L]
