Hmm I can not see any red marks ... perhaps a url would be better ?
Uhm. Goto plugins, in the ACP. And change the settings of Google SEO URL (assuming that's the plugin you're using?)

Look for: "Forum URL scheme"

Change that. And I believe you'll need to change something in your .htaccess

Yes, i'm using Google SEO plugin , I see the FORUM url Scheme with a value "Forum-{url}" , do i need to change the "Forum" with any customized word ?

Also help me on what needs to be changed in .Htaccess file ?

Yes. Then change Forum to the same word in your .htaccess too:
	RewriteRule ^Forum-([^./]+)$ forumdisplay.php?google_seo_forum=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
