Default What about the forum ABOVE a forum?

I have a number of science news categories, all GARSed up.

But My "Science News" page looks just like a normal forum. Only when I get down to the next level do the nice GARS templates kick in.

I tried to create a type called "Article section" for this but it had absolutely no effect whatsoever.

I made sure it was set to be a "forumdisplay" section.

It threw this error at me:

Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT t.threadid, t.title, u.username, t.forumid FROM vb_thread t
                                                    INNER JOIN vb_user u ON t.postuserid = u.userid
                                                    WHERE t.forumid in (-1,35) AND t.threadid IN (-1,6374,6384,6333,6379,6375,6338) ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,;

Before I post it on the tracker - is there a tutorial on how to GARS up forums that contain other news forums? I sort of want it to show the last article from each of the last forums, with synopsis etc.

Uhm, sorry, the link:

http://forums.hypography.com/science-news.html

All the categories below it behave nicely, but this one just looks like a forum. I want it to look like a News Portal.

Check the module settings. That is from either the topx or featured module NOT having a value in the LIMIT field.

The error is gone but I can't make the page change from a standard forumdisplay page. Is that because there is no content in it? Or because it's set to not act as a forum? All my news folders reside directly below this one.

Okay. I am trying to add a "Top" below the forum listing. I want it to show the last 10 news items.

I am selecting "Forumdisplay" in the module and adding the top item, and limiting it to 10. I set it to pull from same type of categories.

I set the forum to use this module in the settings.

But absolutely nothing is shown. Why?
