How come when I try assigning a category to a venue, it can only go down to 2nd level categories?
I try to assign a Shops > Food & Drink > Grocery / Supermarket but it can only go as far as “Food & Drink”. The same for police station, drop down only to 2nd level, which is “Government” …
I used to be able to assign those categories before, but now it won’t allow me. I tried using Firefox and Google Chrome … no difference.

A category missing: Optometrist. People get glasses and contacts when their 4sq screens get blurry.

How about a car wash category?
#5 by Mike on August 4, 2011 - 5:15 am
Yep – opticians – would be good to add!

There’s a category under medical centers for “Optical Shops.” Probably the closest we’ll get.

Car Wash needs to be added!

Currently a super user, don’t you think a flag for incorrect category would be a good idea, esp to change those that have no category at all
#9 by Mike on August 17, 2011 - 7:28 am
As a superuser, you can add categories to places which have no category at all already…
#10 by Kabir on August 17, 2011 - 7:36 am
I do see the option. But where or how do users suggest categories? Shouldn’t this be a flag option?

Would like to see a subcategory under Clothing store for “Tailor Shop”
#12 by Danielle Nuzzo on November 1, 2011 - 3:48 pm
Would love to see ‘surf shop’ added under ‘service shops’!

Supermarket option is not available, if only it could show up under shop!! and the link http://4sq.com/MissingCats is a dead link on “SUBMIT”
