Conflict with forums module

The option to not show forum in the menu is there. administer -> settings -> taxonomy_menu

Sorry for re-opening this so old issue, but this is still an issue and I believe (not a developer, so fix me if I'm wrong) it can be fixed easily.
I really love the idea of putting "forums" vocabulary on my primary links as expanded with nice menus so it shows all the forums as childrens and gets updated automatically.
The childrens forum are linking to the forums beautifully but unfortunately the parent "forums" link to the taxonomy page.
I tried using the custom path but it will link to /forum/%term ids and this is not a valid path.
am I missing something, I can't believe no one has ever tried this.

I can't figure out which option you are talking about. There is no settings page for Taxonomy_Menu. All the settings are under the vocabulary page. Can you please be more specific? I have the sample problem. When I click on forums in my menu, I get a list of all the forum nodes.

I would like the following structure:

Forums: takes you to the main forums page
-Container one: takes you to the Container One page
-- Forum one: Takes you to the Forum
-- Forum two: Takes you to forum two
- Container Two: Takes you to Container Two

This is still no longer an issue (if it ever was with recent versions for D6). But you need to have things set up properly.

Edit: I didn't have my options quite right, so clicking on "Forums" in my Primary menu, which I wanted to simply link to my main forums page, was instead providing a page showing ALL forum taxonomy terms... pretty ugly and not very useful. Now it works. The key is to create a menu item for your Forums (link to main page), then use that as the "parent item" for the taxonomy_menu built from the containers AND uncheck the box for "add item for vocabulary".

I would like to say that the Taxonomy Menu is a great project and I appreciate the time and thought that went into it. Now that I've got this working properly, I'm a happy camper! :-)

I'm changing it from a code issue to a minor "task" regarding documentation for how someone might most likely want Taxonomy Menu to control forum menus.
