Right now, categories can only be nested one level, either in root, or nested under one parent. For a new forum we’re planning, it would be really nice if we could nest three levels. Is that something that might be “easily” enabled and/or is planned for the new future? ie, I’d like (made up example…

Just to relate my own experience, we started our forum with lots of categories and subcategories, but after a year, we’re actually moving in the opposite direction – eliminating subcategories in many cases and using tags instead.

We occasionally take sponsorship for big features if we know we want to build them just can not justify cost at this second. But fair warning, this would be expensive to sponsor, we are talking about 2-6 weeks of work at our current hourly rate. If you have budget to sponsor the whole thing, sure y…
