There's still vestigial category support in it so that a blog post or photo shows related forums alongside it but no longer at the post level. That was quite database hungry anyway. One day I'll strip out the phpBB shit and ban any developer from cvs who tries to implement a phpBB clone and put something like it back in. I like the tabbed interface at the top though. I might nick that idea for the database pager class so I can use it on any list of categorised stuff.
