Solved Advance notice would have been nice!

As much as I LOVE this site, I really think it would be a lot better if you would tell those of us who want to post "comments" on certain subjects here, that we have a WORD LIMITATION before we spend 20 mins putting something together only to find out when we hit "post" that it is too long.

After that happened to me today, I just decided to forget the entire thing and move on, so the advice I was trying to offer based on my first-hand experience will not be passed on for someone else to learn from.

Just put a warning BEFORE we write - and not blind side us with it when it's too late.

Thank you.

I didn't know there's a word limit to posts. Can the moderators please confirm and explain this?

I'm not a moderator... but I have totally experienced it!

Nor did I ? It's never happened to me, and occasionally I get a bit carried away.

Was it a post or a profile comment or an article comment? What type of post were you commenting on?

If you've saved it somewhere else, you could always post it in two (or more) parts.....

It didn't know that either!

That is very frustrating. I prefer when they prevent you from typing when you've reached the limit

Seems like it may have been an article comment. But it's been a while so I might not be remembering correctly.

Please keep in mind this was NOT a new posting or new thread. It was under the articles appearing about "keeping chicken runs dry".....and also I was saddened to not being able to post photos of my covered run, but the word limitation is fine if you tell us BEFORE we write our comments. thanks!
