Hid the category follow thingy myself by mistake on a couple of forums with fullwidth layouts... whoops. It happens! In any event, use this link to fix it: http://vanillaforums.org/categories/?ShowAllCategories=true

How did you hide them? If you did so in the dashboard under categories and checked don't display categories, then just reverse your steps....

hide menu appears when hovering the mouse over the category and then the categories gone...

I can't find the categories and the unhide menu either

Those shots are from this forum, are you referring to this forum? If not, Can you provide a link to the problem? What plugins are you using? What theme ? what version of Vanilla ?

The more information and description of the issue you provide, the better and faster it will be to help you to resolve it.

I can't see categories anymore in this site....

That's problem...

Go back to recent discussions and you will see them again.

loryel

I'm sorry.

There's no more categories...

Try clearing the cache history and cookies then log back in.

Perhaps the Categories are set as "archived"?

You can check by going to the Categories page in the Dashboard, then clicking on a category. If the checkbox "This category is archived" is ticked, uncheck it and save the modifications. The category should now be visible again.

I'm so sorry.

I can't find categories page in dashboard.

I am newbie vanillaforums...

They mean here in this forum that they can't see the categories. Unless there is some severe communication problem , that is what they mean. See the screenshots they posted.

Whoops, I misunderstood the issue. Sorry about that.
I saw the video, it looks strange indeed.

While the Admins have a look, @loryel, what browser are you using? Sometimes, there are browser plugins that misbehave.

loryel

chrome and explorer9 have the same symptoms...
