It's updated every 6 hours on Mikes all things sieve page. 49.5 is still pretty valid.
It would be very helpful if someone could get in the habit of listing sieving depth in the p-1 reservation thread, and it would be fantastic if they could update it about once a month. Omboohankvald's tutorial lists it as 49.5, but I have no idea how accurate that is.

I agree, 49.5 would not be too far away. The risk here (although with low probability) is that you may end up finding a low p factor, and find out it was submitted by a siever a couple of days ago.
50 would also be fine, as there is less than 70T left unsieved below 2^50.
Still, if you want to be precise, you can go for 49.9. There is only 10.4T left unfinished below that point.
Please also note that, at the sieve depth we're at, 2^0.1 increase should take a couple of months.
If I may, I'd like to add another, kind of minor, annoyance.
On the submission page, I discovered that the factor and kn problem refused to stay on the same line. Now, I haven't been able to experiment to see what works and what doesn't, but this could confuse someone just starting out.
I don't really understand what you mean by factor and k/n pair refuse to stay on same line.
You you paste what you see in the window here or make an example?

The window for submitting factors is a certain width. When I attempt to submit factors, the width of the window causes the factor to be on one line and the equation to be on the next, like so:
I try to put the factor and equation on the same line, but the equation defaults to the next line(Don't know if it does the same thing in Linux)[____________________________________]<--approx. width of window

I've found several factors similar to what you have, you MUST submit those factors on the largesieve submission page. There is a link on the regular submission page how to get there. If I submit a factor and the regular submission page rejects it, I would normally try to resubmit it on the largesieve submission page.
