Thanks pepi1025 for pointing this issue.

Based on your note on my site I moved the sub forums one level up until the next release.

I'm happy to hear that my note helped you.
I tested this bug more than a week because I was sure I missed something at the configuration or the used third party plugins occurred it.

Thanks for notifying the developers.

I was going to put the same topic with this problem. I think it is not good as it is now because it confuses a lot.
Let's see if it changes soon because otherwise I will not be able to use the plugin. 🙁

My forum will be based on subforums, and in this way all users will accidentally write in the last subforum added.

Regards

I see and verify the point that pep1025 is talking about - 

Once a sub forum is created you can not add topics to the parent forum, only to a child forum.

Anyway, for me there is no need for sub forums, I simply add another forum under the category and it serves the same purpose. For example, if I have a category named "Investments" I simply open 2 forums - say, one is real estate and the second one is stock market. If you think about it, each forum under a category is basically like a sub forum.

But, technically I think that the developers should test it again or explain the logic behind it.

1. I've added a topic to a forum
2. It was saved under the forum
3. add a sub forum
4. from that point I could not add any thread to the parent forum.

Hello,
Subforums can be used for example to create a category called "europa" and within a forum for each country, for example "Spain" and then subforum for each city.
You can add a message in the subforums, entering inside. But in the page with all the subforums appears the option of "add topic" and if it is used, it creates a topic in the last subforum created and not in the forum of the country.
