You probably should switch to separate forums if you want that type of categorisation.
That is, create child forums for each of the categories, applying the forum settings to each child forum.

url - go
author - date and time
category (clickable category name to take you into its category)
description about the link

Just change your templates.
Note that if you go separate forums you won't be able to display everything on one page (just like how you can't display threads from multiple forums on a single forumdisplay page).
