About Me and What I'm Working On need more characters.

Captain-Doggo

Pros and cons
Pros:
1. Longer am/wiwo
2. More room for stuff
Cons:
1. Spamming with a very big and long ACSII character

It isn't spamming because it's a personal text field that is scrollable anyways.

Support, the feature now doesn't make sense.

I wish that Scratch would raise the limit on characters to about 1000 or something bc I need more space to write

Ugh. This has annoyed me so much. Currently, the character length for About Me is 150 or 200. I want to give more facts about myself, but I have to put “I'm a 13 year old who has used Scratch for about 3 years. I am learning Javascript and C# for Unity.” I have to shorten my sentences to add more facts in. I would also like to put in what types of things I'm trying to learn in Unity, but I can only fit a few things. These are some other things I would like to add to “About Me:”

-Types of graphic design I do
-My Scratch history
-etc.

Please consider this, Scratch Team. I would really enjoy this!

I support for pretty much the same reason

bumping this.

(bumping yet again)

semi support, you can make extended bios with studios (if you are a scratcher) or make a project with your whole bio

but increasing the bio and wiwo limit seems like a good idea to me

Oh. I forgot to say support. I have extensions that give me 55 extra characters, but of course, that is never a workaround. Plus, I have 2 computers and when I switch my chromebook (that refuses to download anything, therefore I can't get the same extension), and I update my WIWO, I always have to butcher it to fit until I get back on my other computer.

Seriously, permanent sections that define you are limited to 250 200, but single messages on someone's projects allow 500 characters?

Either the userpage sections need more characters, or comments less. What has anyone even said in a comment that takes a good 400 characters that wasn't spam?

EDIT: QUOTE TRAIN YAY

EDIT 2: I guess the second paragraph above isn't accurate. Now that I can confirm account requests on the Scratch Wiki and I've been giving long lectures on the AE disagreement, I've had to split a lot of comments into two parts.

1000 limit for Comments

500 limit for About Me and What I'm Working On

No support. Instead reduce comment length make them equal.

for real though, I had to squash it SO much that many things couldn't fit, honestly 600-700 characters might be enough.

I think it should be 500 like the comments. i mean, comments, which literally allow you to make thousands of, but for your about me and wiwo, stapled to your profile, only have like 200?
