I'm having the same problem right now, searching for a solution and finding nothing. So much for bulk importing made easy…

This is great advice, Tiffany. Wanna guess how I found you in a Google search?

I’ve sent your advice on to Britta of the delicious team via Twitter. Let’s see her response.

Thank you for raising this issue, and the proposed designs. I had the bad experience of once using a nifty delicious tool that in effect auto-created about 300 tags including “at”, “with”,….

Augh, yeah, I see the problem with the drop-down compared to just one big list.

I do see one issue with the last option: accessibility. No operation should be mouse-only. Blind users, for example, don’t use a mouse, but they can use regular controls like check boxes.

It took them mufukkas way too long to get the redesign done. Possibly they are in an agile position to fit and finish but I doubt it… Yahoo! morale is low…

They are probably limiting the interface to prevent mass deletions which is not an excuse but probably an indicator of a back-end bottleneck influencing the visuals…

Thank you for being the voice of reason! That interface is so annoying.
