I am reorganizing and want to move a couple of forums to a different category. Is that possible?

Or can this only be performed by creating a new forum of the same name in the new category, then moving all topics over to that new forum, and deleting the then empty forum in the old category?

To answer my own question: follow these steps:

Go to Forum management and select the old category
In the list at the bottom, click the Delete link for the forums you want to move. The forum will not be lost, but saved in the trash bin.
Open the trash bin by clicking on the link "Deleted forums" at the top of the page.
In the trash bin view you can now assign each of the forums just deleted to a different category.

Not sure why the "move" control was removed. Will look into it later.
