How do I create new forums? The only one I see is the Testing Forums that was the default. When I logged in as the admin I did not see an option for "new forum creation".
thanks in advance,<

When you are logged in as admin, you will see all the icons along the right hand side. Place the mouse pointer over each icon to see what they are supposed to do.
Find the one which looks like this that is along the category you want to create the forum under. If you click on that icon, you will go to the page which will allow you to add the forum. There is a similar icon on the line which includes the header (forum, topics, posts, last post, etc). This is the icon to create a new category.

I had a similar problem yet slightly different: I set up the forum and customized colour etc to my liking, changed Admin password to something sensible and went back to the forum. I can log in OK as Admin but get no Admin Options link or icons. If I manually go to admin_login.asp or similar and log in with same Admin pass it accepts it and lets me go and alter the main forum settings.
Going back to the main forum I still dont get the icons or link :(
Currently I am stuck with the default testing forum. Any ideas, please? :)

You need to be logged in as an admin. If you look below the home, profile, etc links, there are two boxes with a login button following. Enter admin in the first box, admin in the second box, then press the login button. You will then be logged in as the admin and all the appropriate icons will be shown....
