Hi,  
I started using Discourse a couple of weeks back and I just noticed that that the **“Uncategorized”** category which I renamed to “Others” is no longer appearing in the list of categories. The Status quo is::

1. In Category List: Not appearing
2. In Reorder Categories: It does appear
3. While creating a topic: The “Others” does show up
4. In the Latest / Posts view: It does not appear.

What value do you have set for the following setting: `suppress uncategorized badge`

I found the issue.. The “suppress category from homepage” checkbox under Category was checked.. Unchecking it solved the problem… Thanks…
