Rule pattern matches ONLY the path, in this case viewtopic.php and cannot match hostname or parameters.

(.*) matches any number of characters. Use that when ALL requests need to be processed.
"." matches a single character and "*" means "zero or more times".

In this case you need the exact pattern ^viewtopic\.php with the literal period escaped.
