More Text While Chatting

I am fairly new here, I have spent the last 8 years at Red Hot Pawn. Although full membership costs more , I find this a far superior site. There is one feature here that I dont like though, its the very limited number of words you can chat to another player before your text gets cut off. I have found you can continue your message by hitting the enter button and continuing it in another box, but this is kind of inconvenient. Is it possible the amount you can write will ever be lenghtened, it would be great if this were possible. At Red Hot Pawn you can chat all you want (at least, none of my longer messages were ever cut off). Dont get me wrong, this is not an ad for RHP, I am sold on this site and am not leaving, I just thought this would be the place to express this opinion.

live chess or online (correspondance) chess ?

Online chess. Most games I find myself in dont go any further than a "good luck", or a "gg" but when playing friends a lot of times chats get pretty detailed, and it seem annoying to be typing a message, then looking up at the box and seeing part of it got cut off in the middle of a word, then you have to enter that, and continue your message.

Thanks for directing me to the thread, I see some mebers have brought this topic up before. The person in the other thread hints at leaving, I find this set up inconvenient, but not enough to leave the site, the site has too manty very good features, but I do find it quite odd that they would skimp on this text issue:)
