Anyone help me out here?

I'm trying to update my yahoo directory listing cos' our current one was put in about 8 years ago... we've diversified slightly since then!

Anyway I keep getting a:

"Yahoo! Change Request Error

Your change request was not accepted because:

The new category http://uk.dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Shopping_and_Services/Sport/Archery/Retailers/ is not a valid Yahoo! category."

If I were an archery retailer, what is the valid Yahoo category I should be in...!? :confused:

Also, if you are a multi industry retailer can you be listed under say four or five category's :eek: ?

Thanks

No-one shed any light on this for me... Usual Yahoo! customer service and had absolutely no response from them?

You can't be in several, just two. It isn't valid for Express Submit any more

Yahoo! UK Ltd. is no longer offering Express service on our UK & Ireland portal. This service is now offered only by Yahoo! Inc. on its U.S.-based portal.http://add.yahoo.com/fast/add?8649476+UKIE

You can't be in 4 or 5 categories, the main one that describes the site and a local would be about right.
