I have tried disabling all plugins and reverting to original theme, no luck.

Issue:

I created a new group, then a forum for that group. I then entered Order Groups and Forums to move that new Group and Forum where I wanted it on the board.

When I saved the screen, it froze with the loading blocks animation. Refreshed page, tried using another browser, I can not get back into that section. Whats even worse is it has some how moved various other forums to different Groups on the board and I have no way to fix it because I can not get back into Order Groups and Forums.

How many forums have you defined? How many of those have sub-forums. And how many are there of them?

Currently I have 5 Groups with 19 forums and 17 Sub Forums. I created 1 Group with 1 Forum under it, then moved that from the last Group/Forums to the second from last, saved and the everything went wrong.

Do you know how to look at and possibly edit tables in the database - most usually with a host provided phpMyAdmin?

Still unresolved - I tried a DB repair.

Another issue we have been having is inside the WPAdmin > Forums > Users > Member Information > Search Member: When you search, all you return is a blank page, the site and adminCP is still loaded but the center just remains blank.

Hopefully this helps shed a light on the issue. I went through my forum and re-created all the new Sub Forums, then moved all the threads back into those sub forums. I then deleted the old sub forums and forums that were moved now that they were empty.

Once I did that, I was able to access the Order Groups and Forums in the adminCP. However if I made a single edit in there, it jumbled everything up again and then I could not access it anymore. 

I am creating new sub forums for a 3rd time, and moving threads back, this time I will not touch the Order Groups and Forums since it keeps messing up my boards.

as mentioned in multiple threads, there is a bug that can affect some users in the ordering that is fixed in the next version...  I think Andy was asking if you had db access to manually correct them until we can push the release out... its just waiting for wp to release 3.9 currently in beta 3...
