Arrow Post ad from within category

I just started using 68Classifieds and so far I think it's really great. I'm so happy with it. One thing I noticed that can get very unruly very quickly though, is that if you have a lot of categories, when you go to place an ad it can take forever to scroll through the drop down menu to find the category you want. It would be so much easier if while the user is on the category page they want to place an ad on, they can just click a link there that says "Place an ad in this category". It would save them so much time.

Or maybe even when they go to place an ad, they're shown a page with all the categories and subcategories displayed all at once in front of them on the page. Even that would be easier to use then the drop down menu.

I ended up scaling down my site more than I had hoped to, just because of this one drawback. Other than that, I love 69Classifieds, but being able to place an ad directly from within the category page would be such a great and essential feature.

Well thanks for reading this, and I hope you can add it.

You can do this but would require the category id. So for example on the category page create a link like:
<a href="usercheckout.php?category=2">Place An Ad</a>

Where the number 2 is the actual category id.
