I don't have a .htaccess in root either, so I simply added the zipped files to my forum root.
The site seems to have speedn up but I did encounter a small problem.

The quick reply, when I click on the quick reply button, it used to delete the text "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply." and you would see the blinking cursor.

BUT now, when I press the quick reply button...nothing happens, the text remains there and there is no blinking cursor. It seems like nothing happened upon pressing the quick reply button, but I can select that text "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply." and delete it and type my reply there.

I hope you understand the problem that I'm trying to explain.

*edit*

another issue that I have just noticed is, that some images aren't shown on site.
and when I check the path of the image in browser I get the following message "The image “http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.", even after re-uploading the image, the error doesn't go away and it is not only for the icon images but for many other (user avatars etc...).

After removing the files from forum root all works fine again.
