Found two bugs in SMF 1.1 RC

Hello,

I'm configuring SMF 1.1 RC for a new online community and I must say I'm very happy with it so far. However, I have come across a couple noticeable bugs -- which isn't surprising considering it's an RC.

The two bugs are as follows:

1) You cannot delete all categories. There must be at least one category remaining in the list. If you try to delete the last one, you get an SQL syntax error.
METHOD OF RECREATION: Attempt to delete every board and category in the administrator section of the board. When you try to delete the last existing category, you will probably get an SQL syntax error.
RECURRENCE OF ERROR/BUG: 100%.

2) When trying to move forums with the move feature, you cannot move forums to categories under which there doesn't already exist at least one forum. For example, if I try to move a forum called "Announcements and Suggestions" to a new category that I've just created to try to reorganize the structure of my forums, the icon to move the forum to become a child of that new category does not appear under the new category. In order to move a forum to a new category, you must create at least one (BS) forum under that new category, and then you will see the "move" button.
METHOD OF RECREATION: Attempt to move a forum to a new category with no forums under it. You will not see the move icon that allows you to do this and thus you cannot move forums to empty categories.
RECURRENCE OF ERROR/BUG: 100%.

While these are two minor bugs, I thought I would let you all know about them regardless so that you could make an already-great product ... well, greater!

Regards,

for the second bug is a better and easier solution:
edit the board and change the category.
There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Did you mean for the first bug? I thought of that too and it works just as well, but it's a bug nonetheless, so I decided to report it.

I suppose your suggestion also works for the second bug, but what about if you have several forums that you want to keep under the old name but just move one forum?

I don't think it's right to just ignore bugs because there's a makeshift workaround, but maybe that's just me.  :)

We used to visit another dev forum a lot in the past. At least if this is the same nr1dane.
