thisis the problem:
You have enabled friendly urls and your htaccess is not working.
You may need to add rewrite engine onto the htaccess or your host does not allow it. Either way, switch off friendly urls until you resolve the htaccess

Okay...disabled search engine friendly URLs...and now, I can click into the "Public" forum normally.
And, I now see that the link underlying "Public" is
http://leadershipformen.com/forum/forumd....php?fid=2
So, this difference in underlying links:
http://leadershipformen.com/forum/forumd....php?fid=2 (search engine friendly urls disabled)
vs.
http://leadershipformen.com/forum/forum-2.html (search engine friendly urls enabled)
Is that still a .htaccess problem?

Just spoke with GoDaddy...they tell me I am on a Linux system...and mod rewrite is definitely supported.
