Increase character count limit for comments on Together [answered]
asked 2013-12-25 18:20:41 +0200
Currently the Together site only allows for comments with a maximum length of 300 characters. This is very limiting if you want to provide a detailed comment on someone's question/suggestion that isn't actually an answer. Currently the only way to do this is to either incorrectly post it as an answer or to split it across multiple comments (which due to the voting system can then end up split up or ordered incorrectly).
(I'll add a related-to-Jolla2gether suggestion here as well)
phle ( 2013-12-26 10:05:08 +0200 )editThreaded comments would be nice - it would be neat to be able to comment on someone's comment (one level would probably be enough), e.g. when someone has a minor follow-up question, but doesn't want to start a new question.
I agree, but what do you think an appropriate limit would be? Another thing: embedded links count towards characters spent, so that if you embed a really long link you can barely write anything :P It's ok if non-embedded links count toward character length, but embedded ones shouldn't.

gukke ( 2013-12-30 02:45:48 +0200 )editthanks to hint by @Milhouse I found out that comments doesn't have any character limitation. Even if your comment reaches the zero character indicator, just keep in writing and despite the negative character count the whole comment is accepted and shown as one comment.
while keeping this in mind there i no need to worry long links stealing characters from comment.
in this message the character count is now -127 characters
