mod rewrite doesn't handle db lookups, so it would not know the name of the thread by the url itself.

something would have to be created in php itself. it would need to read the url and make a query if the pattern matched showthread.php.

I haven't read through this entire thread so I appologize if this has been mentioned, but I noticed that the 'whos online' area will not display correctly if a user is viewing a re-written thread.

It just shows 'viewing thread' without the link below it. You can tell they are viewing a re-written url by hovering over the question mark.
