Updates to forum category names

This is a little heads-up that I want to update the names of some of the categories on here. They’re pretty much unchanged from the early days of this forum and I think there’s some potential for improvement. In particular, these are the changes that I have in mind:

  • Installing Pencil2D / How toHelp and Advice – This category originally resulted from the merger of two separate “Installing” and “How to” categories, but I get the impression the current name tricks some people into thinking that it’s still only about the former, since I regularly get to move topics here from Miscellaneous. This is a big part of what motivated me to reconsider the category names.
  • Your StuffShowcase – I’ve been thinking for a while that something a bit more positive than “stuff” would be nice, so I’m going with “Showcase”, like the channel on our Discord server
  • IdeasFeature Requests – Just to make the title a bit more precise
  • Compilation and DevelopmentDevelopment – For simplicity
  • MiscellaneousGeneral Discussions
  • Bug Reports and Website Feedback – Unchanged

I’m going to leave this post up for a few days in case there’s any feedback and then I’ll go ahead and implement these changes if there’s no objections.
