[re: larger extended field]


This is currently a database limitation; I am looking at extending it. It is constrained mainly because the tool is designed to let you cue your memory with some notes, not be a full blog (which is what it will become if we make it larger. People will ask for markup and so on. What does the interface look like? How would it get displayed? How do I prevent griefers? And so on.


I mentioned this some time ago, so sorry for being repetitive, but would it be possible to limit the *input* for the text field, and not only the output? I agree with all your points in favour of keeping the descriptions short, but I'd find it much more convenient if there was some sort of feedback on what will get snipped of my input *before* submitting the link. I have now resorted to copy-pasting as few words as possible from the page I'm bookmarking, but sometimes I still have to go back and trim the description a couple of times before it's short enough for the system. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andrea
