When I’m not logged in, the uncategorized category shows up on [my forum](https://forum.tzm.community/).
This is odd, because I somehow disabled it. I suppose when I enabled the option that people have to set a category before they can post anything (allow\_uncategorized\_topics). So when logged in, I don’t see this uncategorized category. Also as a visitor, you can collapse the category list, it’s not listed there. But it is listed in the sidebar.
Is this a bug?

I fixed it now by setting default categories in the sidebar myself. But when empty, it does show up.
The sidebar option “users” also shows up, but I’ve disabled the public user listing. If that’s set, maybe don’t show that option, or show a text it’s only visible when logged in.

I’ve been able to reproduce this issue:
1. Create a new site
2. Move any topics from Uncategorized to General if necessary
3. Uncheck `allow uncategorized topics`
4. Leave `default sidebar categories` blank
5. View in anonymous
See Uncategorized in sidebar

Shall I make a new topic for this one? When. `hide_user_profiles_from_public` is enabled, the sidebar should not show the Users option as a guest on the forum. Groups and badges can also be hidden from the public if I’m not mistaken.
