Add a character counter to the "computer specs" box. It's annoying (and a waste of time) to type up everything about your specs, only to find out that when you "save" HALF of what you wrote got removed.

It would be nice to know in advance when I run out of space, so I can stop typing.

Thanks for letting me know -- I never considered that someone would try to write so much in the Specs field!

Is it possible to increase the amount of space available? I have no idea how much is available now, but if namenotfound's is full, I can see how more space might be useful. The more people can put in that box, the fewer questions we need to ask.

Everyone should have unlimited space, although there was a mistake after the last upgrade that limited some users temporarily.

What would also be cool would be columns, so if you wanted to add more than one computer you own, they'd be organized in their own column.

FYI, we now have a counter so you can keep track of how much space you have to go.
