This is from jrElastic index.tpl:
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" order_by="_created desc" limit="10" search1="profile_active = 1" template="index_featured_slider.tpl" require_image="profile_image"}
That's just the jrCore_list function for listing the items in the slider, you;d need to copy the javascript from index.tpl as well.
You would change that to something like this to link to a blog post, so change that to work with the forum:
{jrCore_list module="jrBlog" order_by="_created desc" limit="10" search1="profile_active = 1" template="my_custom_slider.tpl" require_image="blog_image"}
jrElastic index_featured_slider.tpl looks like this:
{if isset($_items)}
{foreach from=$_items item="row"}
<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$row.profile_url}">{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_image" item_id=$row._profile_id size="xxlarge" crop="auto" class="img_scale" alt=$row.profile_name title=$row.profile_name}</a><p class="caption"><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$row.profile_url}"><span style="color:
{/foreach}
{/if}
You would copy that to my_custom_slider.tpl and change it to something like this (swapping out jrBlog for jrForum):
{if isset($_items)}
{jrCore_module_url module="jrBlog" assign="murl"}
{foreach from=$_items item="row"}
<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$row.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$row._item_id}/{$row.blog_title_url}">{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrBlog" type="blog_image" item_id=$row._item_id size="xxlarge" crop="auto" alt=$row.blog_title title=$row.blog_title class="iloutline iindex"}</a><p class="caption"><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$row.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$row._item_id}/{$row.blog_title_url}" class="media_title">{$row.blog_title}</a></p></li>
{/foreach}
{/if}
