WHAT is the new catgeory?

Look at one of your items. The main category is the global and the sub category is shown separately as the sub global category.

How did you do that? I thought you have to choose something from the drop-down menu of categories. Did it just automatically change to the new one?

Heh, nice. That should help with the extra long category/subcategory choices where you couldn't read the end. Smile

Oh, you must be talking about each individual store's sub-categories. Mine are really long and now I can read the beginning of the sub-category.

Errr there are still some subcategories that don't completely fit in the Sub Cat box.

OK -- I thought Periwinkles was referring to this page
http://bigtallmensclothing.ecrater.com/category.php

BUT I see now that she is referring to when creating a new listing.

I never had an issue seeing the ecrater sub-categories
I wish I could see MY sub-category.

Must still be a work in progress. In my trading card store, the global categories are in the sub categories. The drop down in the middle for global is blank. I added a product in my jewelry store just a few minutes ago and had local, global, and sub categories when I added it. Now it is back to the old way, just local and global.

I don't think this is universally installed yet. I was listing in the wee hours this am and the category selection appeared as usual. Global and personal. There was no other space.

It's a work in progress.

There's another topic now on this - lol, I know I just read it but I can't find it or one of them would be locked, lol

It's this one http://www.ecrater.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=17507

I left it at the time cause this one was stating there is a new feature and the other one was stating a problem relating to the feature.

Maggie all stores are all the same. The Subcategory thing got removed then did not get back, probably because of the problems.

This feature is coming soon.
Currently there is a conflict with IE browsers creating an error message as reported in the other topic about this.

It will be back once this is figured out and fixed.

Very new here - have lots of questions and I'm totally lost.

Most pressing now - global sub categories. How can we request that one be added?

I'm particularly interested in:

In COLLECTIBLES

Vintage Sewing
--Notions and Buttons
----Buttons

This is a very popular category - I was surprised to not find it. Most of what I would be putting in my store would fall into this category.

I know this is a free service and I don't believe in looking a gift horse in the mouth, (bet I'm dating myself with that cliche' Wink

), but my time is really limited and I just don't feel I can spare a lot of time to set up a store if I can't properly categorize my inventory.

Any help, suggestions, directions etc. on if I can make such a request and to whom and how I would make it, would be most appreciated. I hope someone can help me with this issue - I'm anxious to stock my store.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can lend some assistance.
