Maybe you could change it from:

1. Categories
2. Today's Posts
3. New Posts
4. Mark Forums Read

to:

1. New Posts
2. Today's Posts
3. Categories
4. Mark Forums Read

I don't think I've *ever* used the Categories sub-menu -- mainly because it's incomplete, but also because it's just as fast to go to the forum index and pick a forum, instead of going to a category index and pick a forum, and using the forum index requires less thinking about which category the forum I want is in -- so it would make a good buffer between "things I click often and are safe to accidentally click" and "things I click rarely and will ruin my day if I click them accidentally".
