That's not a joke. I keep running out just as I'm going to type a period or a last small word and have to edit to fit things - often with undesirable results.

2. firstly, serious in lounge? i thought that was against the rules. and secondly. even if he gave m
more characters in subject line, .... it would still be too short. a never ending subject line cause lounge just doesn't want to put the effort into clicking on a post.

i am just saying

not so much in seriousness.

3. Too much is never enough...that's how I see thread titles
And then, when you edit the title to fit, some douchenozzle in DU pipes up with "ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY..."

So yes, Skinner. Make HopeHoops' dream come true.

But don't do it for HopeHoops.

Do it for AMERICA.

4. Yes. The lounge deserves a present. We behave ourselves in here. 6 characters is not too much to ask
.
^See what I mean?

8. Maybe he could add a thesaurus feature, so we can replace longer words with shorter words that don't
go over the limit.

9. I have given this subject considerable thought and after carefully observing the major issues
involved. I tend to agree with you on this matter, HopeHoops. Six more characters,exactly, would leave just enough negative space between the subject line and the OP's name. Thus, allowing for a longer subject line and still giving the eye time to rest before reading the OP's name. Therefore, I suggest that you PM Skinner at once with your very brilliant and astute comment. Yo.

11. I'd like to see the DU admins implement the "hover" feature
Where you can hover over the title in the thread list and the full post of the OP is displayed in a little pop-up bubble.
