I've been with the LC since 8/2006 and I've learned more about the site tonight than in the past I know the shout box was a real SOB when I first came on the site after posting a shout don't dare move the mouse too far because you will lose everything--try to get to the shout line after selecting before it disappears things like that-- so the improvements are good although the size now is kind of weird but I understand the reason for the increased size--so now to what I learned--there's a limit to the length of the comment allowed in the shout line--but here's the "rub" as they say --you don't know the limit of the length until you send the shout and see only part of it posted--yea yea I know use the comment send feature but shouldn't it just not accept any more input after reaching the limit
