/forum.php or /forum/?

SEO wise, does it matter whether my forum main page is accessed as "domain.com/forum.php" versus "domain.com/forum/"? I saw this question on vb.com and thought I'd ask it here.

Note that I also have this set up:

domain.com/[forum_id]-[forum_title]

domain.com/[forum_id]-[forum_title]/[thread_title]-[thread_id].html

There is little difference. chose what you like/prefer. setting up a CRR is simple.

It's probably a coincidence but after I moved from site.com/forum.php to site.com/forum/ last Friday, I went from #10-#15 to #3-#5 in google results this morning for my targeted keywords. All of my forum links went from site.com/some-category/some-thread/ to site.com/forum/some-category/some-thread/.

Hopefully I can stay in the top 5. :-)
