htaccess changing url structure?

[rossco_2005]

Hey,

I'm trying to get forum and thread titles into my mod_rewrite URLs.
Currently they're in the form f1.html f2.html etc.
I'd like to make them like: f1-FORUMTITLE.html f2-FORUMTITLE.html etc.

The problem here is forums with a slash (\ or /) change the base url of the page.

For example a url like this: f9-Moved Topics/trash.html

This would make the browser think that it's in a different folder (http://forumurl.com/f9-modes topics/ in this example) than it really is which makes images and css and other things not load correctly.

Is there any workaround for this?

I got past the / \ problem but now ? are screwing the pages up.
