I'be added a new category, which does show up in the category settings page (/ubbthreads/admin/catmanage.php).
However, it does not show up in the dropdown list (parent)when I add the forums for this category.
What's wrong?

you need to enable the forum(s) in that category and also give the appropriate user group(s) permissions to read thost forums.

the default for a newly created forum is to NOT show up for even admins wink

Wait, I explain again :-)

I created a new category, THEN, I create a new forum and I want to link this forum to that new category. So I open the dropdown box to define the parent, but my new category is not in that list. (some screenshots attached)

rebuild your cache.. so that the forum $tree can be regenerated..

if that doesn't work, then make sure your /cache dir is proper CHMOD to allow writing..

I had this issue several times, I ended up having to clear the cache manually (both the cache and the compiled templates; not sure which was the problem as I was irate at the point I had to go in and do manual adjustments)
