There should be a subtle hint in the coloring of labels, e.g. on the left of the category label you should see a patch in the same color of the parent category. Example from my forum:

The second topic is in a subcategory of _Eventi_ (that you can see in the third topic), and the small green rectangle is an indication of that. This is with the “category style” setting set to “box”.
