Merge the two Product Ideas categories

There are two separate categories called Product Ideas that link to two separate collections of posts.

If one goes to the list of Categories at https://community.quicken.com/categories  and clicks on the first item listed, Product Ideas, it takes you to  https://community.quicken.com/categories/product-ideas  and there are three sub-categories listed.

If you click on the 7th item in the overall list of Categories, it takes you to  https://community.quicken.com/categories/quicken-product-ideas  where there are six sub-categories listed, several of which then have sub-categories within each of those.

The same two separate instances can be seen in the list of Categories that appear in the panel on the right-hand side of the browser window when viewing discussions.

Seems like some discussion board organization/clean-up is needed.

    This problem causes a lot of user confusion, particularly because the first instance of "Product Ideas" in the right sidebar is the wrong one. It's been reported to the Quicken moderation team repeatedly in the past, and they say they're aware of it but need the provider of this site's platform (a product called Vanilla Forums) to fix something.

    Originally, I thought the moderators said that while they couldn't remove the duplicate Product Ideas categories, they would manually move new threads in the wrong Product Ideas area to the correct category in the real Product Ideas section. That would keep legitimate Idea threads organized, encourage more users to vote for new topics, and make it clear to users posting a new Idea topic that it's the wrong place because there would be no other Idea topics there. But that's not happening. There are more than 60 Idea threads in the uncategorized bogus Product Ideas area for Quicken Mac. Why? I don't understand why these haven't been moved.

    This has remained unfixed for far too long. (I think it dates to an Ideas reorganization and purge dating back two years ago.) Can anything be done to fix this longstanding mess? At least moving threads from the wrong Product Ideas area to the correct one? @Quicken Janean or any moderator?
