Weird problem...

Okay, I guess this can't be counted as a problem, but this is what happened to me today :-
I opened the Contests forum. This is the url to the contests forum, right? -
http://www.frihost.com/forums/vf-11.html
But, when you add a slash to the end, like this -
http://www.frihost.com/forums/vf-11.html/
The page comes all distorted.

Any idea why this is like this?

In short the page is displayed sans the formatting[stylesheet] or the images.

I too got this problem, but it was before today

No idea whatsoever.
I'll hazard a guess that maybe Apache messes up the style-sheet linking?

It should be giving a 404, as that directory doesn't exist. But instead Apache 'corrects' the error and outputs the page, but all the links (includes) aren't working due to the directory.

If anyone knows how to fix this (probably a .htaccess line), it would make me very happy.

Assuming you currently have rules looking like the below in the .htaccess located in the 'forums' directory
