 * Hi
    each time I try and create a category, I get this message:
 * Error creating category, please try again!
    I tried with numeric and alphanumeric“
   order” without success. Any tip ? Thanks Gerald

 * I just found out where the problem might be.
    I run a WP multisite, and it looks
   like all settings must be set on the main site. However, this forum is not intended
   for it, but for a second site where I cannot access the category created under
   MAIN, and also cannot recreate this category for this site. It looks like WPBB
   does not ru on multisite. Could you confirm ? Thanks.

 * Hey Gegeadmin2,
 * Sorry I’ve been away over the Christmas break so wasn’t able to help you with
   this. You’re right WPBB isn’t “officially” compatible with multisite. It will
   run fine just like on a non multisite wordpress site. But if want a forum for
   each of your sites and to be able to control them as a network admin you won’t
   be able to, atleast not through wordpress. There is no multisite functionality
   yet. I’m hoping to make it compatible soon, it’s quite complex so still figuring
   out the best way to go about doing it.
 * Thanks, let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
