With the fine new interface, perhaps we could do without categories altogether. Although the taxonomy is great, I am now able read MetaTalk chronologically and it feels perfect. The general classification "about Metafilter" is enough. Plus, you get to read everything in a much more exciting way.

P.S. Although I confess to having been a sucker for Metafilter-Specific...

I'd prefer etiquette posts clearly marked, so that I can avoid them (unless I'm in a really bad mood)

miguel, the interface is fine as is. categories are necessary here, or you have chaos.

Agreed. Reluctantly but truly.
Cue "Delete me, let me go" sung to the tune of Engelbert Humperdinck's immortal "Release Me", of "Fast Show" fame and now showing on the magnificent eardrum thread!

Where did the categories go?

They're now in the footer of each post on the front page parisparamus, but there's also a handy "Category List" up in the top menu.

Ahem, Miguel...

By the way, the new interface scares me. I love it.

Oh Lord, witless plagiarism has set in too! Sorry, fooljay - but it is hard to read your good self's posts and forget all about them!
(thanks for the extra laughter)
