Since it is now displaying properly, I started to analyze the links themselves.

my example of how the microdata is displaying for me....

w ww.xxxxxx.com › ... › Main Category › Forum

1 - The main url is not hyperlinked

2 - the category link points to ht tp://www.xxxxxx.com/threads/forums/forum name

3 - the forum link points to ht tp://www.xxxxxx.com/threads/forums/forum name

(spaces added in urls to prevent auto-linking here)

Note the latter two are just completely incorrect as the "/threads" should not be in there at all in order to be a correct link on my site. Clicked on vB just returns "no thread specified" error.

Note that my real breadcrumb links on my website are correct, in that the phrase "/threads" is not in the url.
So somewhere between my site, and google, it is picking up and adding that phrase to the url.

Any help would be severely appreciated.

edit to add - I am testing a change with my root url hard coded into line 3
h ttp://www.xxx.com/{vb:raw nav_url}

as I noticed in my page source example the urls do not contain the root domain in them, and I suspect that this is where the extra text is being injected into the microdata url, as the root url would be domain.com/thread in reference to where the breadcrumb exists to google. The change does reflect full url properly in my source now. This may fix problem 1,2, and 3 together.

I will report back when I can see a change on google, good or bad.
