The site changed the way that was programmed years ago. Now, you post your question, an algorithm, based on keywords in your question, selects a subcategory and if it isn't the most appropriate one for your question, you're free to relocate your question once it's submitted to the site (or any Level 7 user may relocate it for you, if it's found in a subcategory not relevant to the topic).

you cant before the question is posted after its posted you can pick it before you post it yahoo will try and guess what category to place it in based on key words used in your question if its not placed correctly you can move it to move it go to your question under the blue edit menu click on edit category then select the new category to put it in then click submit

Yahoo assigns a new question to a subcategory based on the word used in the question. You can move your own question to any other category no matter what your level. Level 7 users have the ability to move anyone question anywhere they like. Most who move questions here will send it to an inappropriate subcategory. Their life is meaningless and this is a way they feel to have a life. Nothing much you can do about it except move it back to the right subcategory.

If you post a question go to your question, click 'Edit' and then select 'Edit Category'. You will see a list of categories and can move it where you want it.

You don't choose but you can change it once it posts
