I want to add a custom WordPress menu in a sidebar the lists and has hyperlinks to the Simple Press forums on the Website. Is this possible? I thought that custom links may work but I do not know what URL to use. I am using the Headway theme.

yes, of course...  use the custom url...  and grab the url for each forum while on group view (main forum page - list of forums)...  hover over each forum and copy the url...  or get them from forum - forums - manage groups and forums...

alternatively, you can use the template tags plugin and the template tag (or shortcode) Forum Dropdown which can put a dropdown select list of the forums in your sidebar...

That works fine.

Just copy & past the forum you want to use into the menu add custom link.

That's what I did over here except i used the menu bar. Better option if not running a sidebar on the forum page.
