Hi Channara,

the max is actually 255 characters, backed by a "varchar" column in the
database. I'm sorry but we don't plan to change it to a "text" type column
anytime soon - reason is just that most comments are pretty short and
"text" requires more storage space on disk.

Now that said you are of course free to change the column type to text
directly in your database, and then apply the patch copied below this email
to remove the validation.

regards,

Lars
