Start with Creating a 'Category' by using default setting as shown in attach image below.
Next Create 'Normal' Forum by using default setting as shown in attach image below.
'Sub' Forum – this is a regular forum that people can post in and is a subset of a 'Normal' Forum. You will need Parent Forum set to the name of the Forum this will fall under, Act as Forum, Forum is Active, and Forum is Open set to yes.
To display 'Sub' Forum on forumhome / forumdisplay use the following setting
Admin -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options
Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2
Depth to show forums on forum home forum listings. If you set this value to '2', forum listings will show the current forum level and any child forums one level below (etc.)
Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 1
This setting does the same job as the setting above, but this time for forumdisplay.php pages, rather than forum home.
Depth of Sub-Forums = 1
If you have forums below the depth specified in the 'Depth of Forums' settings above, you can display them as sub-forum links in each forum's display area.
Set this value to 0 if you want to display no sub-forums.
To increase 'Sub' Forum depth, use the following steps in link below
