[wp-testers] 2.1 RC1 - Categories

[Andy Staines]

I tried to yank that post back! It has done it correctly. I am seeing  
Categories with neither posts nor links in them. I realised this  
seconds after I posted and thought I'd managed to grab it back in the  
outbox!

Apologies.

It is a little messy for someone like me. For posts, I created top  
level categories into which I never post. All my posts go into sub- 
categories so I have a hierarchy neatly sectioned off. These empty  
cats now appear in the links cat list. I still think it would be nice  
to have a way to mark them as 'unavailable to be used for links'. Or  
to have their own table :) (I don't know the smilie for tongue in  
cheek)...
