In the find window - under the 'PLACES' tab there is 'Business" and 'Shopping". In about land if you list your store it was reverted from shopping to business since the patches.

I think 'Business' should be removed since its confusing now where to search and/or designate what your land is. I run a tattoo store - would you search under "business" or "shopping" for Tattoos??

This also was not mentioned in the release notes anywhere as I can see that these changes were made. Sometimes too many options become no good.

No they don't. If I have my shop listed in 'About Land' as 'business' it will not appear in search under 'Shopping'. It appears only under 'Business' in the 'Find Places' tab. When I change it to 'Shopping' in the 'About Land' it does not appear under 'Business' in the 'Find Places'. I have noticed there isnt much listed under shopping now which leads me to believe anyone who listed there land as 'shopping' before is now defaulted to 'business'.

The same thing is happening when you list land for sale...in the menu if you choose to list it the only close option is something called 'homesteading'. There is no homesteading in the 'land for sale' tab in the 'find window'.

What can I say - does John know what Judy is doing and visa-versa!
