Just spotted this when searching Google, thought I'd give you the heads up:

The issue being the number 1 is showing for all but 1 subforum in the Google results.
I believe it's because of the following line in your source code:
This part:
For non logged in users (such as Google's bot) the first <strong> element on the page is the line above. So Google is taking this to be the most important part of the page.
You could try remove the strong element from the pagination, and wrapping it around the last element in the breadcrumbs menu. I'm not sure why Google is missing the <h3> element around the sub forums title. <h3> should carry more weight than <strong>, but because <strong> appears in multiple places that contain the number 1 they may be taking that to be of more value.
There's more information on using sitelinks here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en
I'm not sure if this will hurt SEO in the long run, as MPC Forums is pretty well established and trusted in Google, but it doesn't look nice for the user searching.
Hope that helps![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
