The hack itself (hiding forum categories) work. The problem occured when I added a category. Everytime I edited the category section in CP, duplicate categories appeared. I initially had 8 categories...Now it's probably grown over 60+. I can't get rid of the categories nor reduce the number of slots.

Temporary solution:
I added 7 new categories (started on number 56) as I didn't want to leave the board closed. Hmm...

Upgrade  In 6.7 you can set category styles, delete categories, hide categories, minimize categories, have category desciptions, etc.

With the amount of work I put into the board upgrading is not on the top of my to-do list. I will, however, upgrade when I have the energy again.  Is there a way in which I can reset the categories that are listed in CP? Isn't there a (vars, .pl or .cgi) file I can edit?

hmm, I want to say categories.file or something like that, but I haven't touched UBB 6.4 in a long time. If not that, vars_cats.cgi

That's what I thought too. Unfortunately there isn't a vars_cat.cgi file...The only file similar would be vars_forums.cgi. I also checked a few other related .cgi and .pl files with no luck. I wonder if it's stored in a cache folder? Hmm... I appreciate the help Ian. Nice to see you still doing your thing here at UBBDev.  Any ideas Charles C?

categories.file is in the NonCGI directory, of all places. That's why it's vars_cats.cgi in 6.6+...
