The category pull down menu is hellish.
Instead, use nested pulldowns. The first one consists of business, computers, etc. The 2nd one is a subcategory, and so on. ie, business would have a secondary pulldown consisting of advertising, which would have a third, with ad campaign, media, and media
would have audio, billboard, mail, personal, etc.
'cuz otherwise, life is a little too short to spend navigating that single pull-down menu. Think of all the time I can spend coming up with half-baked ideas instead!

Someone gave me this link once (SEE LINK). Simply click on the link, use Edit->Find in your browser window to find the right category for you, then click that category. |
|
|
Now click on any idea listed in this category. |
|
|
NOW, when you choose "New Idea", the Category menu will already have this category filled in. |
|
|
'xperienced posters know the shortcuts :) |
|
|
And if you add all those numbers up, you could find just how many ideas are on this site! |
|
|
Someone posted this idea once before. It may still be here (can't be bothered to look). |
|
|
If I recall correctly, jutta was against the use of the javascript necessary to do this. She will, of course, correct me if I recall incorrectly. |
|
|
Let's leave it simple. If you are really lost you can always search for similar ideas first or google for "halfbakery" and some keywords. |

So how many ideas are there? |

19,927 as of 4 pm Eastern US time today. |

Waugs is right, to get that sort of interaction you'd need some javascript on the page to make the second drop-down change its contents when you picked a major category. jutta prefers not to use client side scripting. |
|
|
I'll be sure to wear clean underwear for idea # 20,000. |
|
|
another shortcut, similar to [phundug]'s link, but as a way to narrow down to your category is to click the major category in the bottom bar, select subcategory, select idea. Then a new idea will have the same category as the one you are reading. This also helps to look for similar ideas before posting. |
