This is a comment. It is limited to 400 characters (was 300, I increased it). These are meant to be brief, sidebar replies or responses if you will, so as not to detract from the main flow of the topic. Hope this helps

This is a reply. It is unlimited.

I thought replies were not limited, but comments were. Am I wrong?

Thanks, I had a feeling that was the issue. Makes sense. Wasn't an inconvenience, just made me get to the point faster. lol

Jim,
When you are commenting on a post, there is a limit to the number of characters you can use. This keeps the discussion under each individual post, shorter and easier to manage. The comments section was unlimited for a while, when The Pit first opened but it was tough to keep topics clean and orderly. If you want to post more than 400 characters, you can "quote" or post a reply with that person tagged. Sorry if this has caused you any inconvenience, but there is a reason for it.

I was trying to reply to a post and it failed telling me I could only use 400 characters.
