Discussion isn't getting announced.

I made a mall GIF of my problem:

When I try to make a new discussion & announce it, it's simply not appearing. I've got only basic plugins enabled, those came with the installation. Am I doing something wrong? My Vanilla version is 2.1

Could anyone tell me what's the problem with it?
Thank you.

Polite request

Forum etiquette is to make a question that is search-able and meaningful.

For future reference the title and content of your question is important so others can find the answer.

Animated gif whists may contain useful information aren't indexed for textual information, so it i not useful to others to find it later.

"latest version" is also not sufficient, please supply the actual version, so people know for sure, and in the future.

I believe if not category is supplied it saved int the "root" category.

If you enable categories temporarily what category is the announcement under?

Unc3nZureD

Oh, sorry for not providing textual informations. I edited my first post, so others can see what my problem is.

It's in the system category, which I made before I decided to disable categories. Do I have to enable some kind of announcing anywhere?

did you delete general?

Aw, now I see, I deleted customly made categories, and now the only one is the default created by the forum. Now it works. Thank you for assisting

basically if you are using Vanilla.Categories.Use=FALSE it will post in the default category or -1 (root) which is not usually visible.

The default category is usually the first category with the ID greater than 0. it would be unusual when you create a category to have a category with ID not greater than zero unless there is something messed up in the DB.

What is the output of

Select CategoryID, Name From GDN_Category;
