I have been fixing up my site recently and have been adding a few things and just yesterday I added a couple of new mods and also changed the urls to clean and now the forums are not only missing but can't be recreated either. Not sure what is happening. Any help will be appreciated as I am still a bit new to drupal.

hopefully this helps
I had a problem where I kept getting the forums not defined error. It was caused because my access permissions were not setup correctly using the taxonomy access control module. However, I could access the forums if I was logged in as the root user of the site.
take a look at this http://drupal.org/node/80113
Well I had the forums set up
Well I had the forums set up for everyone to view so I know it wasn't that. It's more the fact that it says it's disabled (after I looked around a bit) rather than working even though I know everything that is set up for is set up to work.
The same thing happened to me
The same thing happened to me after installing og subgroups. Is this one of the things you added yesterday?
The only access control module I was using was og. I didn't have time to figure out what happened so I reverted this particular site to a backup (thanks to the dba module). The backup was about 6 hours old and I lost a few posts, but reverting to a backup was the best thing to do, all things considered. I was able to re-post the lost posts manually.
I did download Organic
I did download Organic Groups just to have another mod work but didn't want to use the OG mod itself so have everything that it uses disabled. Do you think that could cause it?
Well I reset everything in
Well I reset everything in OG and it still is not there. I did add Categories but wouldn't think that would make it impossible to create or have other Categories or Containers because forums do.
the categories module and
the categories module and the forums module is a tricky situation. there are quite a few support requests in conjunction with the contributed categories module (not core) and the forum module. taking a look at them and on the developers site for how the taxonomy wrapper works may be beneficial.
I tend to stay away from the categories module when I need to use the forum.module because of this situation. I've never been able to get the two modules to cohabitate.
I found the problem.
I found the problem. Apparently when you add categories it changes some Taxonomy names. In fact as of now I don't have any which is not a good thing because it's supposed to make them automatically when you post any new information. So I will basically have to recreate all the taxonomy's by hand or maybe find another way of doing it.
Actually it got rid of add
Actually it got rid of add new vocabulary alltogether and I can't seem to do it the old way anymore either. This is seeming to be more and more challenging for a simple Mod problem.
GOT IT!
Yes figured it out. It was the taxonomy wrapper that was causing all the trouble. I uninstalled it and now everything is fine (except I have fifty different forums to delete).
Thanks for all the help.
