When i try to set a category as forum discussions i get error when saving...

Only categories can have no parent.

It could be ignored?

A category is a container to put forums in. And a forum needs a container – it can’t be set to appear directly at the top level – that’s what this error message is saying. You need to create a forum INSIDE the top-level category, not turn the top-level category into a forum. That can’t work.

bad news... on 3.4 this was possible

Now i put all forums on a category called "General" but for semantic i think is useless.

I try to hide the header of the category because if I would a theme like "grid" for example the "General" header is a graphic dirty

I'm still on 3.4 (3.4.9, to be precise) and it is not possible to set a category as a forum discussion....there are zero options to do so, other than change it from a category to a forum.

Also, you get the following in the index of categories/forums in the ACP:

And you get this when you click 'Edit as forum' from the edit dropdown, you see this:

If you have been able to do this on 3.4 then I'd love to know the steps as it's something I would like to play around with.
