⫸⫸⫸ I have always liked neat spaces for words. I find that if text is cluttered with a bunch of bold words and scroll bars, I find myself skimming over instead of reading everything through.

⫸⫸⫸ For projects, you can only use the notes and credits section, leave the instructions box empty, and the project will get rid of the instructions box altogether for everybody except you, leaving a simple space for words that easily conveys what you would like to say. This also prevents people missing things that they should know by not noticing scroll bars.

⫸⫸⫸ However, for the About Me and What I'm Working On boxes, it does not do this.

⫸⫸⫸ I was thinking that a modification could be made to the current system. It would have two points to it, or else it would not work properly.

⫸⫸⫸ Point 1: If only the About Me or What I'm Working On box was used, the box that was not used would disappear for all users except the owner of the profile, whom it would show for in case they wanted to change their current setup.

⫸⫸⫸ Point 2: Instead of a 200 character limit for both boxes, there would be a 1000 combined character limit. Therefore, you could use 733 characters in one box and 267 in another, 1000 in one and 0 in the other (where it would make the one with zero hide, of course), etc.

That's all!

First, could you not put those boxes everywhere?

No support, because About Me will remain more static than What I'm Working On.

⫸⫸⫸⫸⫸⫸ look at me, I'm a fancy post! ⫸⫸⫸⫸⫸⫸

don't do that

No support. They are separate so you can organize what you want to say.

Boxes? As in my Box Opener project? XP

Why not? When I make a regular suggestion, since I never make anything that would start a flame war or get much attention, I have to bump it every three seconds.

I like the idea of using the real estate most efficiently - so having the two boxes share a single character limit would be pretty cool. And having the headings disappear if the section is empty (for viewers other than the profile owner) would also be an efficient use of space.

It's kinda etiquette on forums that you don't try to glorify your posts above others unless it's an important announcement.

*ahem* sixty second rule.

Thanks! While the ST was at it

Oh, okay. I also try to use these symbols to indicate that it was made by me (see my projects) so I guess I'll cut it down to one or two on each side.

Lol I was just making a point.

IMO, one or two is still wayyyy too much–what would it be like if everyone did it? It's just clutter. Besides, I can't even see the symbols (http://prntscr.com/443dxz).

Oh, it shows normally for me everywhere except the browser tab.

I would still prefer to use this symbols. Sorry!

See what Zro said. Also, wait until people start using these for their posts too xD

No wonder my projects don't get any attention for having these characters! Nobody can render them. Lol.

Woo, Ubuntu!


Anyway, I support point 1, but not point 2. A fixed amount of words for both boxes is fine as-is.

Support #2. By the way- only 200 characters per box, not 500.

I had to go all the way back up to the top of the suggestion because I forgot what it was

I run out of space in my what-im-working on all the time but not in the about me

I think it's that way on all Unix-based systems.
