    Turning forums into catergory's

    Am i able to convert these forums shown into category's without corrupting any data? i still want to keep the sub forums as well

    I am trying to turn the top 4 into category's to eliminate the module dividers

    TIA

    You can but you must first move all threads and posts out of any forum you wish to change to a category, otherwise the data won't be accessible.

        The way i would do this is first create a temp catagory the edit the channel that the forum that the posts are in and move hem to the temp gatagory maybe this short video can show better than i can explain

          bootsie1 Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. That is probably the only way i would be able to comprehend how to do this.
          It seems it might be a little trickier doing the 3 sub forums, or maybe they can stay untouched?
