    What's the best workflow for users to keep track of their interessts?
    I am aware of the bookmark feature, but is there a way to also have such a personalized overview/start page but for categories. Like watched categories but different as it should be independent from the notification decision.

    Sounds confusing I know but the reason is that a user wants to have his personalized category page which I somehow do understand. Or is there a plugin which does what I kind of have in mind?

    I am trying to add a sorting mechanism to the recent page (forum/recent) exactly like the one the category page (/forum/category/) where the topics can be sorted either from newest to oldest, oldest to newest, most posts. is that possible?

    Hi, first of all, I want to say this is such an amazing project. I really enjoy using it! Thank you!

    So my question is pretty much in the title, I want normal registered user to be able to lookup existing categories and if it doesn't exist yet, allow him to create it.

    I want the lookup experience just like the current tags lookup page here: https://community.nodebb.org/tags Filter possible results as user continue entering letters.

    I think the creation of an category is can be easily accomplished with the write API, but is there already tools built for this lookup process? As a starting point I looked at the /api/categories/ and it's giving me too much info, I just want category name ...

    I don't believe this is currently implemented at this time. However you can manipulate the category.tpl the following way:

    Using the {cid} value, you can explicitly change the CSS based on the category number. Using a wrapper div or whatever you choose. I am currently manipulating div's to change styles and background image per category. This has worked for me. @psychobunny may implement a better solution for this but right now, this is the best way to do it and it works nicely.

    <div class="category-{cid}> ... </div>

    So the class would be .class-#, replace # with category number.
    That's the easy part, the headache would be of course styling per category of course, but hey... :squirrel: it shouldn't be a problem either.
