@ chrishajer
thanks for the reply.
My site url is : http://aavaas.com
My forum url is : http://aavaas.com/forums
I have created a test user : bbpresstest
Password is : test
Currently there is only 1 post in my forum - "Your first topic"
When I am logged in the url for the same is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1?replies=1
When I am logged out the url is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1
I believe the later is a pretty permalink whereas the first is not.
Help here is appreciated. My .htaccess is located in the root folder with the following lines:
