Changing a forum to category?

[pityocamptes]

I have a parent named X, which is a category. I have a bunch of forums that show on the site below this as forum B, C, D, E, F, G, H... etc. that contain posts and uploads.

I want to group all these forums [B=>H...] under the parent X. How would I do this, and will I lose any data in the forums [B=>H...]??? Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Trying to clean up the list of forums and categorize them under a parent... thanks

Like this:



--------------- Added [DATE]1391212732[/DATE] at [TIME]1391212732[/TIME] ---------------

BUMP!!

Ok, I figured it out. I have one other question.So basically I have a category, and under that a forum that calls the category as parent and then several sub forums that call the previous forum parent, is this correct? Also, I noticed that you can't post in the parent forum. Is that normal, but it shows stats and posts next to it that are from sub forums...? Thanks!

If your parent is configured as a category, you will not be able to post in it. If you have it configured as a forum, you will be able to post in it.

Parent is a forum, but won't let me post... not sure why. Maybe I should just change it to a category? Seems kind of retarded that you have a category, then a category under this then sub forums...
