>Are you saying that the Spanish forum was using the same categories that you have now in VFP forum? If so, it will be impossible to search them. Too bad. I don't understand why you could not just create category VFP Spanish and put them all there and allow new messages in Spanish to be initiated there. I can't see how that would add to the maintenance of the site.

Each forum has its own set of categories. The foreign editions had the same categorization however. So, the reassignment to the main VFP forum moved the related messages in their corresponding categories.

As far as having put the related categories in addition to the existing ones in the main VFP forum, it was not considered because there are already too many categories in their. This has also resulted in some complaints over the last years because it makes it more difficult to find the related category. Also, if this would have been done, we would have had to answer the same for potential other requests such as the Portuguese and French content.
