I have a test forum home page of Mixed type & one category is of Gallery type.
I can see that. I'm with you so far!
There are 2 pinned topics & 2 forums (News & Introductions) with topics in them.
I'm beginning to get lost.
I see three sub-forums of your root (Mixed) application, one is a Gallery and it is that which has two pinned topics. The other two are not called "News" or "Introductions" but have names that are a random collection of letters.
However, when a new topic is posted in any of those 2 forums - it gets displayed in a category too.
Now you've lost me!
In reality both "sub-forum" and "category" are the same commodity! The term changes because it seems Nabble thinks that it could be confusing having sub-forums described as sub-forums when the parent application may be a "Blog", "Gallery" "Newspaper" or anything but a "Forum".
The trouble is that there is not full separation of the terms. There are places where both are used. e.g. the "Options > Structure" menu on a "Mixed" application. The first item should read "Create a sub-forum a.k.a. category" and the third "Manage sub-forums a.k.a. categories". I am beginning to think that this is what is confusing you.
Can you redefine/clarify the problem you are experiencing.
That URL takes you to your sub-forum/category set up as a Gallery application
basically I want that category to have only 2 topics & 2 forums without the content of those forums clogging the category. How would I do that?
Now that's the question I don't understand as it seems to be based on a misunderstanding about a non-existent difference between categories and forums.
It would also be a lot easier to follow what you are trying to achieve if your test forum had some kind of "real" topic and posts had real-word titles, a sentence or two of content and a number of different users making posts/replies/comments. At the moment every thing looks like the proverbial monkey making his first attempts to write the complete works of Shakespeare.
