I just want to second this as a great enhancement.
My first question after installing fudforum (today) was whether I could subcategorize my categories.
The example given is pretty much what I was looking for: better organization of forums, easier to navigate and very clean presentation.
thanks
Mark

the sample size of this statistical experimrnt is not that big yet, but perhaps has a clear tendency.
sorry for reasoning to phpBB here, but those guys going to make the step forward i.r.t. subforums/subcategories in coming version...
I am going to use eGroupWare, which loves the FUDForum so much. Therefore it would be quite interesting for me to see this important feature in near future ![Cool](images/smiley_icons/icon_cool.gif)
BTW, the eGroupWare and FUDForum have the same referencing weight in Internet (ask google to prove this fact). Both eGroupWare and FUDForum help each other today to get bigger audience. However lack of important features in FUDForum could cause the eGroupWare users to vote for other forum engines. One day eGroupWare developers could make forum engine replaceble being followed by such a requests from their users. For example with phpBB.
Let me sum this up:
1. FUDForum's popularity benefits from fact of being used by eGroupWare.
2. Ignorance to lack of important features could kill the exclusive role of FUDForum in eGroupWare.
All above is just IMHO
Long live FUDForum!

Limit category depth of 3-4 maybe less performance inhibitive, but I haven't seen too many requests for this feature.

Why specify a depth limit? Why not let the forum admin decide?!
BTW, what's the differnece between sub-categories and sub-forums anyway?

There is a big difference in the way that forums & categories are implemented.

Hi Ilia,
Thanks for the reply.
Excellent sdoftware, by the way!
I take it that categories are easier to implement in the PHP source code than forums? I have only ever implemented categories in my code, so I guess it makes things easier to code than sub-forums.
Cheers.
