What's up with the ads in the wrong category? Is someone changing them to the right category? Confused

Which ads?

You can hit "Report" in any ad you want me to check out and I will correct it.

I do move things around if I see a mistake or if it is reported to me.

There are a few people on the site that report ads in the wrong sections or with other issues very frequently.
Thank you to those people for trying to keep things clean and help out.

In the past months,I would hit the report, and select, wrong category and someone would fix it. But now in the past weeks, it hasn't work.

I see some reports from you a few days ago and I can see I moved those ads around that you specifically reported.

Feel free to keep reporting stuff or re-report anything you still see in the wrong place.

General is ok for that if it fits multiple years, although it might be better in a specific Bug section

To me, ads in the general parts, are for parts that fit more than one vw model.
Oh well.

Yes, that is correct.
In this case:
Ignoring the taillights, do they only fit 68-up models?

The high performance section including vendor HP is a joke, they obviously have to scroll down to select the category, having to go through numerous pages because people think their 36hp oil filler tube will sell faster in the HP section, it used to be nice looking through this section, I just buy a lot online rather than searching all over the place... chances are that is why the visit count is declining too ? There should be some sort of management besides just hitting report.

Thanks

It's high performance and ENGINE so people often use it for all engine parts.

I agree stock parts like that are better served in General or a specific category like pre-58 Bug parts for 36hp stuff though.

I will do a search on 36hp in there and take a look at what comes up.

I agree it can be frustrating in those particular areas.

There is a lot of "non-VW specific" stuff that appears in General as well which we move when seen or reported.
(There are 2-3 people that report these "non-VW" things A LOT, which I appreciate)

Overall:
When it comes to large categories like that, it's usually best to do a search rather than browse.
