Hi community,
Thought I'd start a thread here for those who might want to leave some feedback for the "Chosen Category" plugin – it would be greatly appreciated if you did! Also, could I ask a mod to delete the icon I mistakenly added to the screenshots section? No biggie really, but it does look kinda dumb :-) Thanks in advance!

First off, I love the look of this plugin. I'm wondering about the browser support because it seems like it may be something to consider for core Vanilla at some point.
Just on the nitpick side, I found it very difficult to figure out what the plugin does based on its name and description. To me it's more of a "Category Selector".
"Chosen Category" refers to the category that you've selected after bringing up this ui, not the selection box itself.

1 · Insightful 1Awesome LOL ·Glad you like the plugin @Todd! It should degrade nicely in browsers without JS enabled as all it does is replace the HTML selector element.
I can see your point regarding the name - I'm no good at coming up with names for things :-) I just made a combination of the name of the jQuery plugin and the thing it replaces. Would uploading a new version with a new name work? I need to change a few things anyway.

1 · Insightful 1Awesome LOL ·You can upload a new version with a new name, but you can't change the plugin key anymore. At any rate, the name isn't that important.

2 · 2Insightful Awesome LOL ·"Chosen Category" it is then, although I can see that it may be misleading :-) Anywho, it doesn't change the functionality of the plugin! A notice to all Bootstrap-fans who might see this: I'll include a special version of the plugin with the next release of VanillaBootstrap. So far it looks like this:

3 · Insightful 3Awesome LOL ·I'm thinking of modifying
Gdn_Form->CategoryDropDown()to use optgroup elements. I'm guessing your plugin will be okay with this since there'd be no disabled options anymore. Anywho, it's low priority.- Spam
