    The URL you should be redirecting to is discussion/366 in this case. The 'some-name' is superfluous and can't be easily added during the redirect.

    The easiest way to explain would be to drop a file called 'viewtopic.php' into your forum folder that does this:
    <?php
    if (isset($_GET['t']) && is_numeric($_GET['t']))
       header('Location: discussion/'.$_GET['t']);
    else
       header('Location: discussions');
