    Title explains it all.
    Increase the maximum word limit when updating statuses (is that even a word?). It’s annoying and whenever I don’t have enough room to type, I always have to comment under it and sometimes people don’t see it because it’s not in the original status message. And 140 is too odd as a maximum.

    I think Bossgamer will like this suggestion.

    Support, but don't status messages just show mood, and attitude? You're not writing an essay lol.

    Support, I always have some deep things to quote but never enough characters. If you remember that a space and punctuation also count as characters you can see why the little extra characters would be appreciated.

    I very much support this...I can't count the number of times I end up having to hack up what I'd typed as it doesn't fit.

    Changing the title a little bit. It still might be 200 but maybe it can be 300? Cause taking krissy’s comment into account:
    every single little think you type counts. So maybe max can be 300? If not 300, the max could be around 200-300.

    Thanks for the supports! :heart:

    focus on bigger problems rather then small ones that people wont even recognize.

    I mean, the amount of supports kinda tells me that this is somewhat a problem that needs to be fixed. Plus, I don’t really see any current problems in the website at the moment. And of course there’s problems that others can encounter, they can make a suggestion on that, and it can be taken care of. And this is a small problem that can be fixed in just a couple minutes.

    I always thought that status character limits were something that was hard-coded by XenForo.
    Although I've found some add-ons, they haven't been updated in a while, but also looking at the version that Skyblock.net is running, it doesn't appear for it to be a problem.
    Support if all is possible.

    Hmm, I'm sure this was suggested previously, can't quite remember though

    Full support nevertheless, I've had to shorten statuses a few times to accommodate for the character count c:

    Support!
    It’s annoying when you don’t have enough room, like you said. This would be handy too.
