Default Making Redirection Forums

Originally, it was possible to create redirection forums from normal forums, but it left bugs. I have found out, if you make a catagorie a redirection forum, I cannot find any bugs!

So here's what you do:

Go to Forum Admin>Management>Create New Catagorie

Under the name, put
Code:
<a href="yoururlhere">yoursitenamehere</a>
Press submit, and there! Your catagory has been made into a redirection forum!

Please tell me if you find any bugs.

Yep, I knew this.

If you try and put a redirection banner in the forum name, the banner shows up on the top left hand corner of the forum index sometimes.

What do you mean banner? And yes, something appears on the top corner, bu that is for forums, not catagories.

Oh, and you need to have a forum of some kind under the catagorie, or it on't appear.

Image was what I meant, sorry.

Have you tried an image for a category?
