Heading causes links to disappear

Question

In my Sharepoint site I had listings of pages under the subsite menus at the top of the page.  To organize them I added headers under the subsites in order to group the links shown.  When I added the headings they all disappear in the top menu.  In otherwords I have

Home | Activities | Parents | Students | Alumni

Under Parents I would like to group items like this:

School Info
   Attendance
   Daily Schedule
   Staff Directory
   ...
   ...

Parent Groups  
    Booster Club
    Parent Network
    Football Boosters
    ...
    ...

When I added the School Info and Parent Groups headings all items under the menu disappear when you view the site.  The links ARE still listed when you go into site settings--> navigation for the site.

Any idea what is causing this to happen?  I know I could work around this problem by creating subsites in place of each headings but I would prefer not to take that approach.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

Are you using any custom master page? which theme you are using ?

Yes, it is a custom master page.  Someone else built it for our company.  It appears they're using one of the default themes.

Also, I noticed that the headings and the pages listed under the headings aren't showing up under the site map page either.

If I instead create a subsite under the main tab it works fine, but I really don't want to create subsites for each of these sections if I can avoid it.

Shoot.  I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum.  This problem is happening on Sharepoint 2010.
