Updated Slashdot Story Submission Bookmark 48
We recently redesigned the Submission Form to make it (hopefully) a little easier for you to shovel news our way. The new system also will allow you to tag your submissions. A reminder that you can participate in rating stories and filtering spam from the recent submissions page. And by bookmarking this convenient bookmarklet you can submit stories from the comfort of whatever web page you are browsing.

It's certainly better than the old already aged one, but was the section listbox taken completely off? However I must admit it's probably better to let authors choose it, it was always messy anyway.
And *I know* this news will get officially buried into bitching about non-working javascript on other sections of slashdot!

Two points, and a meta:
First: I've used this form a few times for submissions in the past few weeks, and I miss the section dropdown, also. While I recognize the elegance of using tags, what's missing is an indication of which tags are going to result in which story icons.
Second: Once a tag is entered, I don't see a way to delete it (in case I change my mind or make an error). If there's a way to delete a tag, it's not obvious. Tag deletion isn't a necessity on the front page, but when I'm composing and editing a submission, I need tag editing privileges, too.
Lastly: how is the parent redundant? It's the first on-topic post?
