Update: Problem solved! So, for others who may in the future face this problem, here is what setting I did wrong. In the forum settings, I checked the box for catagory display options to just show catagories only. (Mistake if that is unless you dont want your fourms vieable on your forum summary index page).
Later I do have a few questions concerning modifications to install sepreate graphic headers for each forum on my new board. But, that is for later. So, I will return soon!
