I believe the original Bridge (the Forums Bridge) should use port 119.

It appears that I have both bridges installed, however both are providing only a
listing of "Answers" forums. All the other forums that were available in the
original bridge are now gone :-(

Both accounts are using the same IP 127.0.0.1 and Port 120. That is likely the
cause, but I can't find any guidance on what IP address and port should be used
with the original bridge.

Stefan,

You are correct. Both use 127.0.0.1 as the IP but different ports. Both up and running now.
Thanks.
