I've enabled the New Topics block on all pages & it doesn't appear on /forums or /forums/* with Minima theme.

Does the same thing happen with another theme?

Are you certain that there are no settings configured for the block that would be preventing it from displaying on those pages? I can't imagine that there are, but worth double checking.

Built new D7 site.
Enabled forum.
Added both forum blocks to first sidebar.
Blocks displaying as expected at forum forum/%.
If you can post steps to replicate, please reopen.

I discovered some interesting things:

1) If I put the blocks in Sidebar A, they appear.
2) If I put the blocks in Sidebar B, they do not appear on any pages that start with /forum or /forums, but if I turn off autopath, they appear on topics:

The block does not appear on:
* /forum (forum home pg)
* /forums/supportforum (subforum home pg)
* /forum/linking-main-page (topic pg)

It does appear on topic pages:
* /node/159

3) There are no block restrictions except for paths (suppress on /help) and role.

What is autopath? It is not something in core, this does not sound like a core bug at all.

By autopath I mean URL path settings, e.g., defaults on /#overlay=admin/config/search/path/patterns.
There's a definite issue that anything with a /forum* path ignores blocks in the Sidebar B region. That path is not config'ed in the block at all, it seems to be hardcoded.

Issue tags: +Needs backport to D7

Is there a site we can see this on?
Happy for you to message me on my contact form or irc with login details so I can take a look.
Please leave the version at 8.x, bugs get fixed in 8.x and then backported to D7

Pathauto is not part of core and it is pathauto that provides the path provided above, if this issue only only happens when path auto is enabled then you likely need to move this issue to the appropriate queue.
