You know how the "About Me" section only allows 2000 characters and e-mails allow 4000? Well, I had a difficult time figuring out how to trim my profile to fit the character limit and still contain all the info I wanted. It would have been easier if there were a character counter that said either how many characters I used or how many I had left, or if it just stopped typing the way the Flower section does.

So my suggestion is that all areas that allow typing, even these forums, should have some way of notifying us that our posts are getting too long so that we don't hit "Send" only to get an error message and have to begin again.

I would have trouble using more than 2000 characters to write about me to be honest as I don't have that much of an exciting life laugh Don't think I've ever written a really long email on here either. So, not much chance of me running out of my ration of 4000 characters.

A character counter could be of benefit for the ones who like to waffle on about themselves in their profiles and also like to blah blah in long lengthy emails yawn though.

Hi.

I like a person that writes about themselves.

When you contact them, you have more information.
