   Format: MarkdownItexI just finished writing a comment in the measuring coalgebra thread, and was informed on the first go that my comment was 131 characters too long, so I cut it a little short. I've never seen that before; has anyone else? What is the character limit?

   Format: MarkdownItexI assume that it's [this comment](http://nforum.mathforge.org/discussion/3649/discussion-on-measuring-coalgebras/?Focus=30309#Comment_30309). So I copied the source to a text file and ran the Unix utility (actually GNU utility now) `wc` on it: it has 5711 characters (all of which are ASCII). So the limit is $5711 + n - 33$, where $n \geq 33$ is the number of characters that you removed after the error message.

   Format: MarkdownItexThe maximum comment length is currently set to 6000 characters. I'm quite happy to raise it further. There will always be *some* limit, though.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks, Andrew -- I expect it's probably not necessary: that comment was a bit of an outlier. It merely took me by surprise.
