Hey! I can see that none of your member groups have the read or view permissions on the forum sections. Did you try setting those when you created the section? (Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question!)

From the edit / create form on a section there is this block:

View determines who can see the forum itself, Read determines who can view the topics within.

Thank you this worked! But I'm making thread and there not popping up below the forum,.
I meant forums aren't popping up under the board

Glad it worked :)

What do you mean the topics are not popping up under the forum? Perhaps you could take a screenshot and upload it https://imgbb.com/ and paste the image here? That way I can get a clearer idea of the issue.

It looks like you have the section collapsed, hit the little plus icon to the right hand side to expand it :)

There are a couple of things going on here.

You need to update the outer Announcements forum so that you have the 'view' permissions set. From the section manager hit Edit Settings on that forum and adjust the permissions. That will get the subforum to show properly.

Then you have created a topic at the category level, so you will probably want to move that topic to the subforum instead. In the screenshot you sent, if you click Announcements, that will bring up the topic. Inside the topic you can scroll down to moderator actions to move the topic.
