Thank you very much! The new upload form is better in most ways but the old one is quicker for the some less common license tags like {{PD-USGov-FWS}} such as the one I used. I like the larger description box on the new one much better.

Hello,
You can go to Your preferences -> Gadgets and then tick the first line ("Use the old-style upload form layout."), that way you shouldn't have any problem. You can direct any bug reports and suggestions to Lupo (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lupo), who has worked very hard to make the form work smoothly and continues to patiently tweak it everytime someone complains about it :). Cheers, Patrícia
