J can't rename it, it reverts back.
There's nothing else title Behind the Scenes, I did a search for "behind the scenes" in topics and there were a few with that in the title but not JUST that so their slugs wont' be behind-the-scenes and there is definitely no forum with the title other than the one that's causing the problem.
I can't access the forum order (as previously stated) because it doesn't load. There's nothing in the section where you manage forum titles etc where it says what it's a sub forum of that I can see.

I renamed the forum to "Behind the Scenes Stuff" so the slug updated to something new, and the problem still exists. The Behind the Scenes Stuff forum is listed in the main forum list (front end) and the phantom one is still there with the forums attached to it, if you go back to the parent forum from one of the sub forums it shows the newly named forum.
Edit: searched the database and found a post with the same name so that explains that... but not the issue I'm having

As I said - the other possibility is a blog post or page with that name. So if there is a 'behind the scenes' post or page outside of the forum that also requires a unique slug and if the forum detects that when a new forum is created it will then put a -1 on the end of the slug.
What I have been asking - or trying to ask! - is for you to go to the admin forum listing - open the first sub-forum under 'behind the scenes' in 'edit forum' and see which parent forum it is attached to. I understand what you see at the front end. What we need to try and do is look at the data as viewed from the admin forum set-up.

But unless I'm blind it doesn't show any info in the edit section about what parent forum it's attached to since you changed the forum order system.

Apologies. You are right of course. I getting mixed up with new and old styles.
Looking at your image though it does look like the relationship between the main forum and at least one sub-forum is intact and understood buy the admin. Which just makes it more strange.
As well as solving this I would very much like to try and get a firm diagnosis on what is wrong. Would it be at all possible for you export a SQL dump of your 'sfforums' table (which only holds the top level forum data - no topic, post or user data) so that I can look closely at the relationships to see what has fallen out of whack? It would be a great help if you could and might end up being the only way we can resolve your own listing.

Shouldn't be. One row for each forum but there is not much data in a row. I know you have a lot of fora but as I say - the data content in the table is very low. If it is possible can you email it to support at simple-press dot com?
