Hello,

You need to create categories with the forum tab in your admin control panel. Create a category that you want, then you have to create forums and attach them to your specific category. Have you done this? You can't put a forum inside of a forum. If you need more explanation, I will try to help.

those are just categories . its very simple just create one category , then create forums in that category. then create another category and forums .
then go to admin panel / general / hierarchy and choose SPLIT CATEGORIES ON INDEX / MID thats it

[Sir-Duke]

create category and move there the forums you wanna split.
admin panel / forum / categories and forum ... and move them around

But it splits each of the links on my homepage into catengories and I dont want that, also how do I name the categories like http://millsberrychatter.usersboard.com/ has?
Please help me! Im only 11 years old!

did u put at least one forum in there ?

[Sir-Duke]

when you create category you have to put at least one forum in there so it will show otherwise it will not show

admin panel > general > homepage > Heirarchy > split categories on index > medium
