</div>

in the create topic panel, when there’s no `un-categorized` category a text is supposed to be shown:  
`select a category ...`

but the &hellip is not working after an update:

the `uncategorized ` selection is shown in the category list though we don’t allow uncategorized topics in the admin panel.

This is also happened after a recent update.

Interesting, I have removed a part of this code as it was clearly not working, but maybe I misunderstood part of it, will fix it today.

the &hellip issue has been resolved after an update, but the `uncategorized` selection is still there in the options of the menu when creating a new topic.

I have developed the fix, bit it’s not deployed yet as it implies other changes, should be done in the next 24 hours.
