HN Usability: how about using maxsize in title in submit form?

1 points by adrianscottcom ↗ HN
"Please make title < 90 characters." is the illuminating reply when you submit a title with > 90 chars.

Suggestion:

1. Easiest: how about adding maxsize=90 in the html of the input tag for title

2. If that's too difficult ;), how about at least giving a char count. "Please make title < 90 characters. You currently use 314,159 characters." (Note the number formatting "," hehe )

Interesting, but I've never run into this issue.

I think that the un-enlightening response employed currently is appropriate for any case where someone does not self-govern their submission titles ;)

please do this

and please use the features category :)
