The whole "number of characters left" feature for commenting is horrible. Yes, it does tell me how many characters are left, or that I've gone over the 500 character cap, but when it slows my typing speed down it's frustrating. Then, if I want to change something in the post, it's just as excruciatingly slow to delete and re-type it. Basically it's forced me to use Notepad to type out posts which negates the usefulness of knowing how many characters I have left.In short the feature is more of a hindrance and an annoyance than really good and useful. |
