Gear Categories ... What Am I Missing?

Why are some keyboard synthesizers showing up in said category, while others fall under "Other" ...

Maybe it's me. They seem to be categorized correctly on their gear profile page.

This is really NOT a big deal to me, but since the name of the website is "equipboard" and Categories is the only tweakable feature on our boards I feel like our boards should be organized accurately.

Mind giving me an example and I can take a look?

GEAR:
  • EarthQuaker Devices Westwood
  • Fender '57 Custom Champ
  • Fender American Original '50s Telecaster

Well, I was going to say "anything in the Other category." Then I thought it better to get you a specific example. Then I thought, maybe I can figure this out on my own. Turns out "modular synthesizers" have their own category separate from keyboards, and all I had to do was add that category to my board. I added a bunch of categories and 45 "others" dropped to 12.

It seems the remaining dozen items were never categorized upon being added to the system by other users.

man, user generated content is what makes this site a mess... its cool in theory, but in theory communism works

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp
