How does a reader know which category any particular discussion is in?

I noticed that creativesoul proposed a topic in the Debate Proposals category. I would never have known it was a debate proposal, except that Michael mentioned this in the thread. When I go to the main Forum page there seems to be no indication as to which topics are in which categories, and the same within the thread, no indication as to the category. Am I missing something?

In the Categories list on the left, when you're in the thread, the category will be bolded. You can't see what category a thread is in until you're in the actual thread itself, as far as I know.

Quoting StreetlightX

You can't see what category a thread is in until you're in the actual thread itself, as far as I know.

If you hover over the discussion title when on the main page the tooltip will be the category.

OK, hovering, I never thought of that. Thanks.

None of that seems to apply when using a smart phone, so it's still an issue. The only way I know of to find that out for sure would be to search through whatever category you think it might be in until you find it, which is an inconvenience.
