Go to the most logical port of call, usually does the trick. If it is way out of place, a question will be moved. but indeed, when in doubt, go to outside the bag!

If all else fails, I put it one of the Outside the Bag sub-categories but nine times out of ten, it can be put elsewhere. Just a matter of getting to know the categories and sub-categories.

Generally I do a search for questions with similar key words, select the category that they are in and then post the question. That usually saves time from hunting blindly in general categories or having to post a question in a random section.

Ok this might be a stupid question, but i cant figure it out haha. but when you ask a question on here, "adult" shows up as one of the categories, but when i go to read/answer questions, i can never find this category. how do i get to it?

When going through Answerbags, I see many categories that I don't see under 'categories'. Like: 'Answerbag', 'Adult', and a few more that I forgot. I only see them when I have to choose a categorie for my question. How else can I find them?

Why on AB when we are trying to categorize a question can we not categorize it to a general topic listed below the category?

Do you find the answerbag categories mind blowingly specific?

It is too difficult to find question categories! Sometimes i just do not know where to start - am I alone in this? Am I just a bit simple??
