              Bug #: 51542
            Summary: Ask site: 300 character limit on Comments is too small
     Classification: Unclassified
            Product: LibreOffice
            Version: 3.5.3 release
           Platform: Other
         OS/Version: All
             Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Severity: normal
           Priority: medium
          Component: WWW
         AssignedTo: [email protected]
         ReportedBy: [email protected]
                 CC: [email protected]


I have repeatedly run into problems where I'm unable to reply to a given
comment in under 300 characters. I think the limit should be increased to at
least triple that, to 900 chars.

I believe that every character in a URL, including formatting, is included in
the 300-char count, and as I would *strongly* like to avoid url-shortening
services, I don't see a way for me to be able to write full sentences
commenting on a Question or another comment without running far beyond 300
chars.

As it stands, I've had to abuse the "Answer" option and use that to comment on
questions. I would like to avoid that, and I'll probably lose karma for using
the Answer elements in this fashion, but there's no other way for me to write
down my thoughts in complete sentences on the site.

For comparison, this brief bug report runs 837 characters.


This seems like a valid point. If we are looking to make Ask.LibreOffice as efficient as possible. We could make it 900 and monitor it for any abuse -- if need be reduce the amount there is too much abuse.

Alex Werner is in charge of the Ask.LibreOffice site.

Alex: could you please look into this bug?

Cheers,

Marc
