Group comment character lenght [DONE]

Post by **nwa** » Thu Jun 17, 2004 11:33 am

I think 500 character (spaces included!!!) is too little, it would make sense if the spaces weren't included, but for now, I can't comment on everything why the encodes by this certain group is good/bad as I have to cut down on words.
I can't express myself clearly enough

Either make it count by letters, or increase the character count by at least 100 characters.

I`d say that there shouldn`t be a real limit. If you have something to tell, you should be able to voice your opinion. If you do want to have a limit, I`d say to increase it to around 750-800 instead.

Arbitrary suggestion: 750 characters

A related request:
In the popup-code for group-comments, change

<a href="#" onclick="popup('animedb.pl?show=pop&pop=agcmts&id=x',400,500,0,0,'agcmts'); return(0);">...

to

<a href="#" onclick="popup('animedb.pl?show=pop&pop=agcmts&id=x',400,500,1,0,'agcmts'); return(0);">...

(yes, that's the scrollbars-entry)

Unless there is a database limitation, why have a limit? If there is a limitation, let that define the number of characters...

well, the feature is not ment to give in length reviews about a group.
it's supposed to allow a quick overview over the different groups and having review-sized anime-group comments would clearly make that impossible.

but i agree that the limit can be increased a bit.
750 seems to be a good value.

BYe!
