Can we get a new category for "relocating/moving"?
A large % of the questions in the travel section are from people asking relocation questions. Any chance to get a new category generated - "relocating" with sub categories under it similar to travel - country/state(city)?

For one, if you have a suggestion you should post it here:

Secondly, I have seen various questions asking about new sections. I am under the belief that Yahoo will not be introducing any new sections anytime soon for the main reason that this site already has too many as it is. There are many sections like Rock&Pop for example, that house literally two sections in one. Why would Yahoo do this? The main reason is because Yahoo wants to cut down on site traffic. If this site were to add more sections for topics that could easily be utilized under one section, then that would mean more site traffic meaning slower download times and that means more user frustration. The other reason is because it would confuse users. Users I believe have a hard time figuring out which section to post material in. Adding more sections would mean more confusion of where to go, and some users would be lost becuase they wouldn't know where to post or to look for answers. So I don't think it is practical. Its not a bad thought because one section in particular is missing from this site and that is "bowling". Why on Earth this site doesn't have that section under sports? I don't know. But I do know Yahoo doesn't plan on adding more sections because its already too much to manage as it is.

It's highly unlikely. There may seem to be a lot of questions about relocating/moving, but likely not the volume needed to warrant a category of its own. If you feel there's a need, use the Yahoo! Answer Suggestion Board to make a suggestion. Click on the "ABOUT" tab in the green strip above. There is a link to the Suggestion Board there.

Probably not as there will not be the volume of questions.
There are already questions under travel that never get questions, and often those that are asked there shouldn't be in that category anyway.
If you go through all of the travel sections and make your way through all of them I doubt if more than 25% of them have questions in them.
