I have added a new page to start a forum and added a widget
{jrCore_list module="jrForum" }

but no forum appears and there is no option on profiles

What am I missing?

Bit of confusion in there.

* The {jrCore_list} function is to create lists of things, like the latest audio files uploaded or the newest videos, its not what your after if you want to see the forum.

The forum will appear on a Profile. So to make it appear on a profile, that profile needs to be allowed to use the Forum module.

Go to the forum module in the ACP:
ACP -> PROFILES -> PROFILE FORUM -> QUOTA CONFIG

You will see these options:
* Allow Profile Forum
* Can Post to Forums
* file attachments
* allow signature
* allow bbcode signature

To allow users in this profile to have a forum on their profile, check the "Allow Profile Forum" checkbox. This will put a FORUM tab on their profile and allow them to configure it.

If you only want 1 profile to have a forum put it in its own quota, like this one here the-jamroom-network is allowed a forum.

You mean like you see here?

The forum here is on the "the jamroom network" profile - it's not on a separate page...

a "Menu Tab"? could you describe how your adding the "Menu Tab" because it could have multiple meanings and I'm not sure which one your asking about.

click that little gear icon in the header...click "add menu item"....name it what you want- then in the url box below the name add the url...if you have already created the page somehow you can use the /page name in this box without including the main url...
Otherwise if you are starting with a blank page- name the url under the name whatever you want just be sure and use _ or _ in spaces...
Anyway I think thats what you are asking and how i do it

In videos, and here again, I see that to play with menus we need to use a gear icon in the menu, but I have no such menu or gear icon. What I have when logged into my site are

ACP Admin Dashboard Search (upper right on same line as the site logo), then

Profile title (Chief Admin) at left, and then at far right, a gear icon (update profile), + (delete profile), and trash can.

That's it. Nothing related to the site builder modules I installed. The Site Builder Construction Kit and Menu modules are both set as "Module Active", and are both in the quota for the Admin profile.

What else needs to be done to get access to the Site builder functions?

Use a different skin? In one of the videos showing how to add menus, the initial steps are missing, and the menu gear icon is already up and running. The video does mention that the Slate skin was used. So I looked for a Slate skin, but cannot find that in the Marketplace.

eek! (expression indicating a sense of naked stupidity)

In our Ning 2 systems, we have a tab manager in the admin dashboard. All the existing main menu tabs are displayed. When we add a new tab we can make it submenu or top menu tab, and copy and paste the URL into the tab setup screen.

Then we can drag the tab anywhere we want it in the tab setup display, and this is immediately reflected on the home page when we get out of the dashboard. Its a very easy, obvious and useful feature in the dashboard.

If you are using the jrNingja or jrSlate, then you can do it how derrickhand300 outlined above:
derrickhand300:
click that little gear icon in the header...click "add menu item"....name it what you want- then in the url box below the name add the url...if you have already created the page somehow you can use the /page name in this box without including the main url...
Otherwise if you are starting with a blank page- name the url under the name whatever you want just be sure and use _ or _ in spaces...

But I'm guessing your not using either of those skins. If your not using either of those skins then you can do it via a template alteration from:
ACP -> SKINS -> YOUR SKIN -> TEMPLATES -> header_menu_desktop.tpl -> MODIFY

You will see code like this:
            {* Add in Cart link if jrFoxyCart module is installed *}
            {if jrCore_module_is_active('jrFoxyCart') && strlen($_conf.jrFoxyCart_api_key) > 0}
                <li>
                    <a href="{$_conf.jrFoxyCart_store_domain}/cart?cart=view">{jrCore_image image="cart24.png" width="24" height="24" alt="cart"}</a>
                    <span id="fc_minicart"><span id="fc_quantity"></span></span>
                </li>
            {/if}

That LI element is the menu item. The surrounding {} is an IF conditional. You dont need the conditional, just put

<li>
   <a href="{$jamroom_url}/wherever">NEW LINK HERE</a>
</li>

Its not normal to have one of your main site navigation links linking to another site completely. Thats the reason your getting matzofun.com/http://bestsingletravel.com.

You need to wrap your code in [ code ] [ /code ] blocks to paste it into the forum, otherwise the HTML code will be stripped out. It has been stripped out of the post you made above. Don't copy+paste that back to your site or you will have problems.

The code to make a link to http://bestsingletravel.com is
<li>
   <a href="http://bestsingletravel.com">Best Single Travel</a>
</li>
and you would put that after any /li but before a /ul .

--edit--
Using full URL's has been allowed in jrMenu ver 1.0.11 and updated in jrNingja ver 1.1.1
