And I tried to delete one of them (the one with the bigger ID number), but after that both categories are gone!

The category I want to create is a subcategory, it has extended description and parent forum. Also there is one attribute group, it includes 2 attributes, one of them is required value.

[Edit]
Well, I checked the database. The category I created before is still there, it just doesn't have the value of "catdate" (it is 0), maybe because of this it doesn't show up.

Very strange. I can't immediately reproduce this. Can you confirm which code release you are using, and check if you have modified the links_addnewcat, links_addnewlink_catselect_one, or links_addnewcat_oneentity template.

Also, do you by any chance have the php suhosin module installed? I've just worked with another site that has had strange behaviour with category creation, linked to that module.
