    Hello,

    Go to your categories & forums area:
    Then click the 'add' button > make it attached to the 'category's' name & change 'Position this forum after:' to where you like the forum to be displayed after the forum > Save

    Make sure its attached to the general area(click modify) and position after your 'Iris' forum. > Save

    You can see those options once you click the modify button of the forum on the admin panel.

    Hello,

    The forums would probably be under the 'general area' since its a forum under a category you're creating.

    Here's a guideline on how to create categories & forums:

    Hello,

    You have it attached to a forum that's why it's being shown as a sub forum, to make it look like a forum on the index, make sure it's attached to the category name(general area) > Save

    It appears that the 'Iris' forum has its own category,so just modify the forum and make sure that it's attached to the category "Iris' Always List" >>Save

    No worries, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask Wink
