I figured out my problem!! I had run the "List Script Fix" that Crispy had posted. DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT without making a slight change in it. There is a bug in this script.

His script has the following towards the end:

NSERT INTO {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Lists
(ListName, Value, Text, ParentID, Level, SortOrder, DefinitionID)
VALUES
('ForumType', '2', 'Normal', 0, 0, 1, @ModuleDefId)

INSERT INTO {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Lists
(ListName, Value, Text, ParentID, Level, SortOrder, DefinitionID)
VALUES
('ForumType', '2', 'Notification', 0, 0, 2, @ModuleDefId)

INSERT INTO {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Lists
(ListName, Value, Text, ParentID, Level, SortOrder, DefinitionID)
VALUES
('ForumType', '2', 'Link', 0, 0, 3, @ModuleDefId)

This is what the script should be: (The fix is in red)

NSERT INTO {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Lists
(ListName, Value, Text, ParentID, Level, SortOrder, DefinitionID)
VALUES
('ForumType', '0', 'Normal', 0, 0, 1, @ModuleDefId)

INSERT INTO {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Lists
(ListName, Value, Text, ParentID, Level, SortOrder, DefinitionID)
VALUES
('ForumType', '1', 'Notification', 0, 0, 2, @ModuleDefId)

INSERT INTO {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Lists
(ListName, Value, Text, ParentID, Level, SortOrder, DefinitionID)
VALUES
('ForumType', '2', 'Link', 0, 0, 3, @ModuleDefId)
