    Default Cinderellas under stamps

    Please could we have a sub-category under stamps for Cinderellas. This is the name given to all "not really stamps" - bogus countries, dog licence stamps, charity stickers etc.

    And now I've thought about it a bit more could we split up "other" under stamps into

    Stamps>Other> Collections
    Stamps>Other> Mixed Lots/Accumulations
    Stamps>Other> Kiloware
    Stamps>Other>Cinderellas
    Stamps>Other>Everything else

    I'm not sure what goes in Everything else but then, at the moment, almost everything in "other" should be somewhere else!

    Agree with madelaine's suggestions

    I agree, right now "Other" is a mess.

    Another change I would very much like to see in "Stamps" is to change "Rest of the World" to "Worldwide" which is much more useful. I think it means "everywhere that doesn't have a category" but isn't that quite outdated by now? Our stamp shop had to be put there because we have worldwide stamps, and the category is useless for listing individual stamps.

    Yes, I had the same problem and picked a category in spite of my shop being mixed - I think we need to be able to put our shops just under "stamps" without selecting a sub cat.

    World wide would be an improvement on "rest of the world"!

    I agree with splitting "Others" as suggested by Madelaine.
    Cinderellas should be moved to Others as suggested (not all cinderellas are thematic).
    Not sure why we need "Rest of the World). Every country has a geographical location and its stamps should be listed there. Any mixed countries and kiloware could be placed in the new categries suggested by Madelaine.

    I didn't find Cinderellas there because they don't belong there. People who collect them collect them! I would be unlikely to list under Thematics anyway - they are stamps first and pretty pictures second!

    I had to put my stamp shop in the store category "Rest of the World" which is not as descriptive as "Worldwide". This is really where I think the change is needed. The same title is used when listing stamps. If the program uses the same table for both, then both would be changed. If the program uses different tables, then only the Stores category would need to be changed.

    I requested this change quite a while ago and it didn't happen.
