Topics as we see them

[oscarina]

Hello Answerbank Ed
I would suggest that we just have the topics as we see them without the sub categories. Quizzes and Puzzles are self explanatory. Media and TV. News etc,It is a chore to trawl through categories for relevant posts! I say cut out the middleman go straight to the top! Some really good posts are lost because Answerbanks don't or can't be bothered to check all categories.

I'll agree that some 'pruning' could be done but it's still handy to have some little-used categories kept separate. For example, I know very little about TV and films but I'm quite knowledgeable about some aspects of radio, so I tend to ignore the main 'Media & TV' heading and look only at the 'Radio' section. If radio questions get posted within the main category, they quickly get pushed down the list and people like me might not see them.

PS (For anyone who's unaware of it):
All of the sub-categories can be seen by clicking on the word 'Topics'

I'd like the all sub categories to stay visible after clicking Topics instead of closing again after one has been viewed.

Totally pointless having a separate Pets section under Animals and Nature, but I do think Crossword people should be made to use that category instead of the general Quizzes and Puzzles. I hate having to trawl through all the pointless crossword questions to find the Q & P ones.
