Is there a setting that will return the category dropdown to the precious <select> based one, without the rad combo or ability for multiple selections? I see how the new one answers a need, just in my particular case I need the old style back.

Thanks for the quick response. I imagine most people like it the way it is, so no worries. I'll do this another way.

Both, for different reasons. I dislike the radcombo because of all the extra styling/code needed, when a SELECT is so much more compact. I "unload" the default.css for most public users to save bandwidth and really most of those styles are for the admin interface. So my radcombo is unstyled in that mode, and there's a lot connected to it to dig out and put in. (Also I have no idea how the radcombo will work in a mobile device vs a SELECT where there is an established UI pattern for them that makes them quite usable, at least on Apple devices, etc.)

And the multi-select is overkill for say, a simple list-view calendar on a homepage, showing the latest 5 events. With a the old way it was a quick pulldown and click, not having to turn some on, others off, and then mouse-off and click elsewhere on the page for the switch to fire.
