CMS What's the difference between category and section?
 

Forgive the newbie question, but what's the difference between a category and a section? I'm setting up a new forum/blog using vBulletin 4.0 and I have to create and name some sections and categories and can't figure out the logic/reasonsing I need to use to divide my subject material.

The vBulletin guide is woefully inadequate at this. It goes to great length to explain what a blog post is but fails to describe how a category differs from a section and where you would use one rather than the other.

I've read this thread and all the pdfs Don Kuramura has provided here. They were helpful in that I learnt that an article can be assigned to different categories but not to different sections. Apart from that, sorry Don, but it wasn't very useful on this topic. Page 2 of the last pdf shows a chart example of how you'd organise sections and sub-sections. But can't that just as validly apply to categories i.e. I can create categories and sub-categories?

Nowhere is a clear example provided that would assist me in deciding how to name and organise the categories and sections within my subject matter.

I would appreciate any help.
