Should be allowed to post an idea to all the categories that apply. It would still just show up once if you're searching any other way (random, recent, by name, etc.)

Annotation:







       Mrthingy, that's what the halfbakery started out with - but the browser interfaces for selecting multiple items from a prefabricated list put users through more confusion and suffering than could possibly have been made up for by any benefit derived from accurate multiple listings.

       One might imagine a cross-reference UI that didn't use <SELECT MULTIPLE> tags. For example, you could have an "Add category" link.   

       It's probably not worth the complexity, though.

       Yeah, no.
