I am experiencing difficulties uploading a forum topic. First off this is what it looks like when I upload a forum topic (this was today) (see attachment) If you notice, the Forums category is split into two, which it shouldn't. Well when I hit the preview key a message in a green box reads and I quote:The item Forums is only a container for forums. Please select one of the forums below it. How can this be when I did choose which category it belongs to? Please help me. This is really bothering me. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

This is rather a UI problem than a real bug.

I suppose that you have created two vocabularies for use with forums, that is why you got two selectors.
the other problem is that you can select forum containers. This should not be the case. the selector function should make forum container optgoups that cannot be selected.

containers can be nested. optgroups can't. thanks for Steven for pointing this out.
