Hello I am trying to make  a database using a topic feed and am not quite sure how, can any one help me on creating a database I tried its there but nothing in the database so I guess I am missing something. Thanks!

When you create a "database" within Pages, it is designed to store data that you (or your users) submit. It will not auto-populate with other data on your site.

What is your end goal, because there's a few ways you could go about this? For instance, you could create a custom activity stream that shows (specific or all) topics, or you could use RSS imports to pull topics into your newly created database.

I was hoping to use what data was already posted into the topics field so you are saying that only new posts will show and not what has already been posted?

I am trying to put  one specific forum into the database like General Discussion.

this is what I get when trying to add a database not really sure how to do it  ( These settings will have no affect until this database is added to a page. )

Topics and Pages databases are two different things. It would be akin to installing our Blog software and expecting topics to show up in the blogs - that's just not what the software does exactly. As I said, you can move topics to databases, you can use RSS imports to pull topics into database and so forth, but they won't just automatically show up in the Pages database.
