But I want to see it in the pretty, alternating-background, forum style -- not as a list of recent posts. Here's my dilemma:
I have a series of containers, each one devoted to a particular topic. But I also have one container which presents Help, Announcements and other board-related topics. Right now, I can create links like "forum/55" where 55 is the container for all writing forums, "forum/34" where 34 is the container for all webmaster issues, etc. But I'd like each of these to also include the Help Container, 37. So, I'd like a forum display of the two containers 37 and 55. Taxonomies can do this as in taxonomy/term/37+55 ... how can I get the forum module to do the same thing with something like forum/37+55?
Pointers? Code snippets? Anyone familiar with it? Txs in advance!

Use taxonomy
This might not be exactly what you want, but it should do the trick.
Find the taxonomy term that applies to each forum. Then use the taxonomy/a+b format that you described above.
[Go to administer>categories, and find the "Forums" vocabulary. The taxonomy id's can be found by floating over the edit term link and looking at your web browsers the status bar]
You can also use PHP snippets on the required taxonomy terms if all you want is a list of topics.
By trial and error
I had figured out that I could do that -- but I really want it to appear as a forum rather than as a list of posts.
