XF 1.1 How to convert category to forums?

[hellreturn]

Does someone know how to convert category to forums ? I would like to convert some categories to forums so users can post under that section.

Thanks!

Make a new Forum - name it the same as the Category.
Give it the same or a similar description.
For "parent" select that Category.
Probably give it no. 1 order.

ps you cannot "convert" one node into another type.
They just do different things.

You could delete the original Category and just keep the new forum.
