You will need to edit two things.
1) You'll need to edit your /inc/init.php file. Find where it says define('FORUM_URL', "forum-{fid}.html");
Remove the .html part. You'll do the same thing with the rest of those define functions. It should be around line 213 to help you out.
2) You will need to edit your .htaccess file. All the rules like this:
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+)\.html$ forumdisplay.php?fid=$1 [L,QSA]
need to have the \.html removed. The dollar sign should be after the parenthesis so it looks like this:
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+)$ forumdisplay.php?fid=$1 [L,QSA]

i removed .html from
{
define('FORUM_URL', "forum-{fid}");
define('FORUM_URL_PAGED', "forum-{fid}-page-{page}");
define('THREAD_URL', "thread-{tid}");
define('THREAD_URL_PAGED', "thread-{tid}-page-{page}");
define('THREAD_URL_ACTION', 'thread-{tid}-{action}');
define('THREAD_URL_POST', 'thread-{tid}-post-{pid}');
define('POST_URL', "post-{pid}");
define('PROFILE_URL', "user-{uid}");
define('ANNOUNCEMENT_URL', "announcement-{aid}");
define('CALENDAR_URL', "calendar-{calendar}");
define('CALENDAR_URL_YEAR', 'calendar-{calendar}-year-{year}');
define('CALENDAR_URL_MONTH', 'calendar-{calendar}-year-{year}-month-{month}');
define('CALENDAR_URL_DAY', 'calendar-{calendar}-year-{year}-month-{month}-day-{day}');
define('CALENDAR_URL_WEEK', 'calendar-{calendar}-week-{week}');
define('EVENT_URL', "event-{eid}");
}

Can you paste your .htacess file?
Mr Leaks may i know the reason for you to change seo friendly urls to default ones? Aren't SEO friendly urls supposed to perform better in search results?

I don't believe his webhost seems to support mod_rewrite. I even tried modifying his .htaccess file myself and was getting 404s.
Just checked the host. It is godaddy. i think they should support mod_rewrite but may be they don't.
