First, make sure mod_rewrite is enabled and htaccess files allowed to be executed.

Then, make sure .htaccess file is in root folder and look like this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^forums/forum/(.+)-t[0-9]+/$ /forums/details/$1/ [R=301,L]

Finally, try clearing your browser's cache. Indeed, your old rules could interfere. After that, it should work.
