Can't Change "General Discussion"
Jul 9 2010, 5:12 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 9 2010, 5:12 PM EDT
I just started a new site using Wetpaint + am trying to customize the Discussion section. I want to change the name of "General Discussion" to something else + change the description. But when I click "Update Catergory" nothing happens. The only button that works is "Cancel". I can not delete that catergory either. Please help. :) Do you find this valuable?

General Discussion is a Category that is not able to be edited. Every site has it and needs it. You can edit the description of it, but, can not do anything else to it.

Thanks! I was just hoping to change the name to "All Things Petville" (my site is a fansite of the Facebook game Petville). I appreciate your assistance! :)

Wetpaint should reconsider. My site does not need off-topic discussion. My site is about fantasy books, and we cover everything. We have a different category for every major book series people may want to talk about, an RPG category, an off-topic category, and a comments/complaints/suggestions category. I find General Discussion unnecessary. You guys really should let people choose what they want for their site on every single level. Do you find this valuable?
