See screenshot - I am experiencing an odd problem with two categories only (Albums and Staff) on my private forum. They are appearing last, no matter what category view I choose. Albums is available to everybody, and staff is limited to staff as usual. If I edit the sort order, I can see Albums is supposed to be further up in the list. When I move it via the selector and save, it still appears at the bottom but correctly has the same styling and description like Lounge. But sadly when I refresh my web browser, it goes back to being greyed out. Safe mode has same problem.
Are the Albums and Staff categories muted for your user? Discourse now shows muted categories on the categories page, and displays them in exactly the way as you are describing - greyed out, at the bottom of the list.
The description for muted categories on the user’s preferences page needs to be updated to reflect this change.
Nope. I had no way of knowing that until he told me and I went to check. I must have muted these years ago. I don’t even remember why, and it did not occur to me to make the connection.
