Combining Category types

I can assign multiple types to a single category, but that doesnt work very well:

  • all posts are marked as unresolved if support+mark is turned on, the user cant specify they have a support request
  • all posts show “vote 0”, even when the user can mark a post as up for voting (it should only show 0 votes for the one who opted into this.
  • When i enable events the category is replaced by a giant calendar, while this may be ok in some occassions a normal discussion group with a small calender sidebar widget would be more helpful so i can mark only a few posts as having a date.

How did you use the solved, topic voting, and event plugin before those became category types? While the process of configuring those plugins for a category has changed I cannot recall that the features have changed.

Did you use those on the categories before too? Or are you just trying them for the first time? I wonder how users indicated that their topic is a support request before.
