    Hello,

    To change a category's name, you need to go to:

    1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
    2. General Tab
    3. Categories and forums (on the left, under Forum)
    4. Click the edit button ( Edit ) on a category
    5. Rename it there

    That's the category name. You should do the same thing as posted Base before. Next to the category named "Forum" you should have a edit button (Edit), - click on it and rename your category name, then click Save button.

    You do not have a category for these forums - Rules and Site Information & Questions, Comments, and Suggestions.

    Also your Members Lounge (category) will not show up unless you attach a forum to it.
