Well thank you so much Robin and Robkk for trying, and Robin, I know what you mean about Buddypress, I tried this question over there on the forum and didn’t get any response.

I guess nobody knows how it works LOL

I have been trying to think of a more specific way to word the question, I assume that BBPress looks into the database somehow – somewhere to create these crazy permalinks.

Anyway Thank you

Robkk – I am not sure what you mean

Robin W The checkbox I am refering to is

Dashboard>settings>Forums

then halfway down that page you have:
BuddyPress Integration

Forum settings for BuddyPress
Enable Group Forums Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums

Hi Robin

Same as it has been for years:

Thank you Robkk for the help. I deactivated all the plugins a couple weeks ago and checked that, no help at all.

I had forgotten about the theme thing, I did as you suggested this morning and changed to 2012, no help, I clicked on the hardcoded sidebar link and it redirected it to a bad ugly link. Which it wouldn’t do if I uncheck the “group forums” check box at bbpress settings.
