Question
I just started making my new forum. On one of the forums I go on in a board they have like another section in there I want to know how. What i mean it's like you have the board where you post but the above the place where it says all the posts and stuff there is a rectangle and inside there's the name of like a sub-forum. How do i make one?
(Still don't understand what I mean? I don't blame ya. I'm bad at describing. I might put up some screenies to like show what I mean or somethin...)

I'm not sure but perhaps I may be able to give you an assist here. I think that what you are saying is that first you see your "Index" page that lists the different forums. But then, when you click on and go into one of these primary forums, there are other forums listed within the primary forums, right? If that is the case, here is what you need to do:
First, go into your "Go to Administration Panel" at the bottom of your Index (Main) page. When you get there, click on "Management" under "Forum Admin" on the left side of the screen. Once there, you should see all of your primary forums listed. Underneath each of your primary forum titles you should be able to see two boxes, one blank and one which says, "Create new forum." So, say the primary forum that you want to add a sub-forum to is titled, "Administration" and you want a sub-forum for your forum rules. In the blank box under the "Administration" forum type in whatever title you wish to call your sub-forum such as: "Forum Rules" or "Announcements" or whatever you want to name it. Once you have named the new sub-forum, click on the "Create new forum" box next to it. This will bring up a "Create new forum" screen which will then give you an option of typing in a description of the forum. You will also be able to decide from here whether you want the forum to be "unlocked" or "locked." Once you have determined these things, click on the bottom button, "Create new forum." After you have completed this, a screen will come up which says:
Forum and Category information updated successfully
Click Here to return to Forum Administration
Click Here to return to the Admin Index
If you opt to return to "Forum Administration," it will take you back to your starting point. You will then see all of your forums, both your Primary forums and your Sub-forums. From here you can edit, delete, move up, move down or resync your forums.
Hope this helps,
