Who thinks FunAdvice could use a few more categories?

For some reason, I sometimes have trouble picking a category. For example, on my question “what did women shave their legs with before they invented razors that we use today” I would have said that would go into a history category, but there isn’t one…so I looked down the list, and selected general knowledge.

I’m sure it could, I mean, FunAdvice isn’t perfect and it’s always good to show a little criticism and share ideas for improvement.

Yea…I am not complaining..;..Just wondering if a few more categories would be a good idea. :)

I dunno… I mean, some of the categories tend to collect dust ya know? Why bring something new when things have been untouched.

Well maybe they can be replaced?

I think we need photo categories! I always have problems finding a category to put my photos in. I think we need a photography category because none of my photography will fit in a category :’(

That’s a good idea. I always put mine in beauty and style… =/

Photos go to the photos page and they are categorized based on what the photo is about (personal photos belong in FunAdvice Community, pets belong in Pets & Animals, etc.). It would be rather pointless to categorize every photo as “photo”.

What I’m wondering, reading all this: http://www.funadvice.com/interests/history how does that page not…well, do what you were asking about?

Eg, if you ask a history question, it should finish up there (especially once we’re closer to what we had in mind for that feature).

Same with…well, practicallyi everything :) The reason we don’t want to add categories, per se, is that then when asking you have to select from a billion options…nobody really wants to do that.

So true….if you go to the actual interest page, you can ask your question directly on that page and it should categorize it for you that way.

Ahh, I see. I am glad you guys are explaining why you don’t have more categories. It was just an idea, wasn’t expecting anyone to change anything…but now that I have heard you and Colleen’s opinions, I see why there are only those categories. I never really new about the interest page. I will defiantly check it out though. Thanks you guys. :)

Yeah, most of my photos are in good categories, but there are a few of like, landscapes and sunsets etc that I don’t know where to put >.<!

I put those unidentifiable ones into general knowledge
