Amazing how I'm still changing in outwards behavior.

I'm sorry to make another topic so fast, but I really need help with sub-forums.
I don't get it. Everytime I make a sub-forum, It says that the main forum is the subforum, not the one in the main forum.
Translation (XD):
Every time I try to make a forum in a forum (which is how you make sub-forums... I think.), it says that the subforum is the main forum and the main forum is the subforum.
Say for instance, I made a Main forum (In some random category) called "Artwork."
I wanted to make sub-forums for it, so I made a forum in the main forum, (which I think is a sub-forum) called "Drawings."
It'd say the "Art" is the sub-forum, and "Drawings" is the main forum. >__>;;;
What did I do wrong here to make it do that??? @_@

Alright. All you do is click "New Forum" in the "Forum Control" box in the ACP. Look for the "Add to which parent?" box. It should be the very first one. Select the forum you want it to be in. You can select either a category, or a forum. If you select a category, then the forum you are making will be a main forum in that category. If you select another forum, then the forum you make will be a subforum for that forum.

What that means is, if you make a category called "Artwork", and you want to make a main forum called "Drawings", then you would select the category "Artwork" when you are making the "Drawings" forum. That will make it a main forum in the category "Artwork".

Now lets say you already made the forum of "Drawings" which is in the main category of "Artwork" and now you want to add a subforum to the "Drawings" forum called "Pencil Drawings". Well, then you want to make a new forum like you did with the "Drawings" forum, except this time, you select "Drawings" instead of "Artwork". That should make that forum a subforum inside the "Drawings" forum, instead of a main forum in the "Artwork" category.

Now if you do that, and it says something like what you were saying. Just ignore it, and go look and see exactly what happened. It may just be saying you made a subforum, but you are just misreading it and thinking it says something else.

I know about the category thing; what I was saying that this forum I'm working on has only one General category, where everything goes, including artwork (which is a topic).
Oh well. Thanks! ^^

wait... that's exactly what I do... I go to add the new forum I'm making, and the parent is the Main Forum (not the sub forum). when I add it, and go to the board home, it says that the main forum is a sub-forum...
here, I'll give a link so y'all know what I'm saying:
http://z7.invisionfree.com/The_Chinnoh_Region/index.php
See? It says that the Intros forum is the sub-forum, when it's not; the sub-forum is supposed to be "Goodbyes." @.@

The goodbye forum is a subforum... A subforum is a forum inside of another one. Goodbyes is in the introduction forum, so it's a subforum of the introduction forum. You have it perfect like it is...
