Well, incase you left a comment saying 'This is really great!' on a project, then you can find that comment and look at their reaction to that comment.

That's a good point. The ultimate goal is to show all your comments to other people as well. We are also considering generating a tag cloud* of all your comments to get a quick glimpse of the kind of comments a person leaves....


* a tag cloud is a visualization of all the words you have posted ordered alphabetically and with a font size dependent on the number of times that word appears on the text.

I used the my stuff comments list yesterday to track down a web site I'd mentioned in a posting but couldn't find again in google.  Being able to do that was helpful.

The 500 characters is working pretty well for me, thanks!

i like the new changes they help improve the site a lot, and thanks a billion for changing the characters amount from 200 to 500, i couldn't type in full sentences lol before because i would run out of characters ^_^

I noticed that comments are now limited to 255 characters in length.  I find that quite annoying as I like to leave fairly verbose comments.  I would be interested to know the reasons behind this change.

We just found a few of extremely long comments that were not even real comments. I think no having any limit at all is a bit dangerous but we certainly don't want to force you to have to post more than 1 message for your verbose comments. What do you think the limit should be? It should be fairly simple to increase the limit.

Well, I've hit the 255 limit about 4 times now, usually when trying to give advice about a piece of scripting.   I guess I'd vote for somewhere around 500 characters and see how that flys.  What do other people think?

Yes, I agree. Around 500 characters would probably be ok. Ahhhhh well you couldn't list all of the digits of pi but oh well.
