How do I create forums like here in Drupal.org? I tried creating multiple vocabularies of type forum, but only one of them appears. I'm thinking this is a taxonomy issue ....

1.0. Log in as admin/user 1.
2.1. Administer > Configuration > Modules
2.2. Check on the box next to Forum. Save configuration.
3.0. Add Taxonomy Vocabulary (ie: forums) and set it as Forum Topic.
3.1. Add terms to that vocabulary (ie: forum topics: news, installation problems, talk about this site, etc.).
3.2. Tweak settings from Administer > Configuration > Modules > Forum
4.0. You will see forum topics as an option now when you go to add content. You can also access the forums like this from /?q=forum or /forum with your taxonomy terms of the vocabulary set as forum topics.

When I do this, I get the equivalent of drupals:
General
News and Announcements
General Discussion
Drupal showcase

But I don't know how to then get the next part:

Support
Pre-Installation Questions
Installation Problems
Upgrade Problems
etc.

I created 2 forum vocabularies, but in modules.forums you can only choose one to be active. Do I have to have one contain the other or something?

How do I put terms within terms eg:
Taxonomy Name
-------- --------------------------------
Vocabulary Forums
Term General
Term News and Announcements
Term General Discussion

"General Discussion" is somehow inside "General"

Edit your forum vocabulary and set 'hierarchy' to single. Then edit your terms and choose a term parent.
