um, ok i have a question about that amount of characters in a post hack...

what if someone gives you an answer to a question or helps you with something & you want to reply to thank them, I mean i just tried to thank Garble on the FAQ board for what was going on with the dead links, & i couldnt :( I'm not gonna add extra words or comments to my thank you just to be able to post it...all I need to write is "thank you for the info", yet i dont think its a meaningless post, its just courtesy...

anyway its not a complaint, just a suggestion, something you might want to consider...

nightchamber, i thought this at first as well (after realising that post chains of dozens of posts containing just a few characters wouldn't be any more), but then i remembered: pm! when thanking someone we can always send it, her, him a private message; we don't have to flaunt our deeds every time we say 'thanks' i hope...

so i say, keep that restriction! fifty characters isn't that much, and yes, it removes a lot of freedom, but what the heck, it gives freedom as well! ;)

I am so fucking proud of myself! I hacked the board.... by myself, with no instructions. I so rule. even tho it was a really simple hack, and I bet Bunny could do it in his sleep (hell, it only too ME about 10 minutes...).... behold, the [spoiler]spoiler hack for XMB 1.9[/spoiler] ;)

it's kinda quick and dirty, for now. it works, but i can not get the buton to insert the tags properly, i'll figure it out. (not that i think many people actually used that stupid button, anyway.)
