Please for future reference simply ask what a functionality does here if unsure what may happen
Sure I usually do. But I didn't think deleting a category would delete any group especially without warning. The way I figure it is that group conversation is both impossible to recreate and dynamic minute by minute.
So backups are valuable, but not a real failsafe, someone is going to lose something no matter how recent your backups are. Right?
So I did not expect deleting a category to delete the groups in it. But that's why we're testing at the moment so it's good to find these things out. And I can fully appreciate that you can't cater for everyone's whim.
But perhaps just a warning "deleting this category will delete all groups in it" is a good idea?
I'm going to add a warning on my GJ websites and remove the ability for most admin levels to delete groups & categories.
I'd like to suggest adding the warning as a feature?
Either way, thanks for clearing it up with me!
