So, instead of a list you have to alt-click to get more than one tag, how about something more like a tag cloud where you can click on as many as you like and it puts them up their for you? That's the way whatever it is that handles my tags does them, but again, I don't know exactly what it is or who I got it from. I'm pretty sure it's a in my computer, not something I put on my LJ that does it, because it doesn't come up when I'm posting on other computers and I always have to stop and realize why.
