How do you navigate throughout the Yahoo Sub-Categories when they aren't easy to find?

For instance, I like trying to look at the Personalization category for ideas and answers to many of the same questions I would ask.

But I don't know how to find it. I don't know what major heading it is under.

For that matter, there are many more sub-categories that are out there in many different fields of interest that people ask questions about that are not easily found under Yahoo's filing system.

Can someone tell me how to pull up a list of ALL of the Sub-Categories from what Yahoo shows in the main Categories list? That way I can know and choose a more varied selection of questions to answer rather than just hitting the green answers button in the middle at the top and trusting question categories to pot luck.

Just how do you navigate to the Personalization sub category (among others), for instance?

    As far as I know, there is no master list of categories and sub-categories. You just go through and look.

    Yahoo is a free service and they don't have every convenience imaginable. The categories they have now are good enough for 99% of us.

    Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any type of 'site map' or other easy way to find all the subcategories on here. It took me forever to find 'History', for example. Just do not see it as an 'Arts & Humanities' type of thing, myself.

    One of the places that you CAN look that makes it easier to see them is under 'Advanced' link next to the Search button. Since you can select which categories to search in there, they have 3 columns set up that can pretty quickly show you each subcategory and sub-subcategory.

    FYI, Personalization is under Yahoo Mail, under Yahoo Products.
