I’m having some trouble keeping everything clean and organized on our Discourse forum. In the categories page from the top banner where they are all listed vertical with descriptions, the sub-categories are grouped nicely and are intuitive.

However, in the drop-down from the hamburger (≡) button in the top right, having sub-categories quickly becomes a disaster. It’s simply going to overwhelm my new users and bury the most basic categories in the midst of the more specific ones. This leaves two options as far as I can tell: completely do away with organizing content in advanced categories, or disregard the problem and continue forward. The third option should be to remove sub-category display entirely from the hamburger drop-down, just a simple boolean check-box in the admin controls for this purpose would be extremely useful.

Thanks for reading.
