Every new forum I create is not shown on the main index, even if I copy settings from one that does show on them index. Only shows if I choose "show private forums" in the settings. But I'm not creating them as private. I also have setting to show 10 subforums, but there are only 8
I can PM forum info.
AdminCP -> Configurations -> Settings -> Forum Home Options -> Subforums to show on Index listing
There set the number of subforums on the index page.
I said in my post I have the settings for more than what is on the index page. And I said they do show up if I choose the "show private forums" settings. But I don't have them set to private.
That means that your group is not allowed to view the subforum. Make sure all permissions are correct.
