Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Adding the char. count limit to the posting box header? Can this be done? Just to have it as a reminder.
Can you explain this in more detail? A sentence above the posting box stating what the limit is? (and what is it anyway?). Or do you mean a warning like we have with the tagline box?
And how common is it for people to actually go over the limit? Pretty rare I'd say. Personally I think it would just busy up the page and it's the kind of thing better left to trial and error.

Sentence above. (Something like
...then click "Post message." (messages over #### characters will be truncated.)
or just add the thing to the FAQ.)

Happens a couple times a day in the Threads You Don't Visit.
What is the character limit?
6000 characters.
Inclusive of spaces?
(I ask so I can set up a macro to do my dirty work for me, which is freaking sad.)
Yup.
Sweet.
Thanks.

Oh, yeah, duh, sorry that was threadist of me. t grin
Is there consensus to stick a warning above the posting box a la the tagline box? i.e. Warning: 6000 character maximum length. Longer posts will be cropped mercilessly.
