Duplicate categories

[TJPea]

I am new to IPB and very impressed so far. One thing I would love to be able to do is duplicate categories so that I don't have to manually re-enter the sub-categories within.

Probably best described with an example:

I am building a community around swapping things and it will be split geographically: UK, France, Germany etc.

So I build my first category, UK and then build all of the sub-categories below that: Books, CDs, Cars, Furniture, etc. This structure will be repeated exactly, for the France, Germany and so on forums.

Therefore, I would like to be able to duplicate and rename the UK forum....

I have asked "official support" and they say it is not possible. Any suggested work-arounds?

Thanks for your help.
