You can submit a report to support, but frankly I don't think it matters.  It's rare that anyone uses the categories, and I think less is more.  There are many times I can't find right category.  

Likewise, there are tons of blog posts about inspections, but no separate category there.  Those could fall under buying a house or home improvement.

I think that can be handled under lending/financial since an appraisal is being done primarily for the lender.

Good question. I suppose it is to fall under the Real Estate Industry category kind of like home inspector questions.

AR slimmed out/down the number of categories years ago. Who knows, maybe AR will consider a new category. It does not hurt to ask.

Mary Thompson - Yes, I agree. While Joe Pryor makes a good point about the fact that appraisals comes under lending/financial ONLY those of us in the know have that knowledge - - the consumer doesn't. Today, you need to make things easy for your customer, not hidden. More classical music is sold on the Internet  with the key word "classical music" than with "Beethoven."

Mary - I wouldn't be opposed to having a separate category for Appraisal questions, and Home Inspection questions as well.

Mary Thompson does not hurt to ask - however, I think it should fall under lender/financial.

You could always ask support@activerain.  I don't use categories myself except to categorize questions because AR requires them to be categorized.

Joe has a great answer, as usual.  You can always contact AR support and put in a feature request.
