How do you start a new category if there isn't one which suits your discussion content

ADM

Only admins can create new categories. Not sure if it's different for 0.9.3/1.0 but for 0.9.2.x it's done in the Settings -> Category Management section.

jeffbax

speaking of which, are there any addons / extensions to like... break categories into groups?

Minisweeper

there is currently no extension for sub categories but it has been discussed a number of times.

I don't mean sub categories, I just mean like dividers. The main category would just be text with forums under it, like phpBB, but not a sub forum of a category in which you can post in.

Minisweeper

eh?

Freedman

I think he means having subcategories, but no categories. What I mean by this is you would have:

Help-
--Tech help
--Fishing help
--Whistling help

Fitness-
--Lifting weights
--Running
--Misc. Cardio

The "help" and "fitness" headings wouldn't mean anything, though. You couldn't post a message to "fitness." It would just be there to help make sense of the categories.

Hmm...I like that idea. Has anyone thought of making that? (is it even possible?)

DigitaLink

So more like Titles and Categories. Could see it being a handy extension for some folks. Can't see it being a core function though.

Thomas Heath

This is an excellent idea.
