Like me, I have a long bio. I think you should have more space for a bio because now when I try to write stuff and save it, it never gets saved. What do you think?

Larry thinks we should shorten bio's to 1kb (1,024 characters), or allow a slightly longer length but only show the first few hundred bytes or something.

Only 1kb? Maybe put at least 10kb, a little more room.

Do we all agree on a "show all" button? But I think it should be called something different.

RightwRong, making a new account won't solve the problem.

ah ya if you need the "show all button"

new named...

"Read more"

"click here for more"

an aroww in a box pionting down
or (more mideval) a bow and arrow that shoots when you click on it and the arrow takes the "extra stufF" down to open it all?

" wow there is more"

&quotress here to unravel the scroll"

"next page"

just "next"

just "more"

"wait there is more"

"hold it there is more"

"so much so little space"

"yes there is more"

"extra"

"more about my life"

"more about my life even tough no one cares"

"this bio is so long it had to be continued"

"continue" or "continued" or "continue reading"

"more piontlessness"

"uhhhggg can't we get over this all ready!"

a book style thing that you click the edge to turn the page

" > "

"keep going"

"this person is crazy! there is more!!!"

just "there is more"

&quotres __ button to continue"

ok thats all i got. i could think of more but just look ^^^
that is a lot! some are just jokes, but if you realy want to put that! XD

Heh, thanks for the ideas. We'll probably keep the language simple like "click here to view their full profile biography"

I think the best way is to maybe have less than now (maybe 4-5 ish lines) of bio, then have a link that says "Read/show more" and then have a link also "Read/show less" after they clicked the more link.


I agree with this.

But I think 4-5 is a bit short, but it doesn't matter too much.

i like that idea if i read some and then don't want to deal with it any more! lol but that button would be sent to the bottom! and then ya have to do the end and page up trick!
and making it at the top is the same problem, but if you saw that is was to much to read it would be easyer if the "show less" button was on the top. but such is life with this all!

yah i agree, 4-5 lines is to small. maybe a 1Kb or so. or half a Kb.

I think that about 600 words should be enough.

It could be at the bottom and top.

Or better yet **NEW IDEA YAY ** there could be a little bar at the top of the screen that stayed at the top of your monitor even when you scrolled, and that could have the "community" "help" etc buttons as well as the "Show more/less" buttons for profiles

the coma in the () is added. it is that easy! and...
So does what does that mean?

come on! sorry but please...

i tought of that idea but it seemed like to much to do but i did not think of adding all that!!! that is a nice idea! but would be a little hard, but i think google has a thing that helps make web gaget bars. i think?
