Character Limit Warning
Would it be possible to add a note to the interface warning posters of the 2000 character limit to entries? We have had people trying to post huge amounts of text.

If you add info as an admin, you are warned if you have exceeded the 2000 limit, but not if you are posting as a user with no sysadmin access - the event seems to post but actually disappears into the ether!

Maybe later you could add something like Twitter has, which counts down the number of characters used. I think some CMS systems have it too.

Thanks.

Re: Character Limit Warning
Hear, hear!

I also would like to see this added.

OOORRR increase the limit to say like... a million?

Also, add "city, state & zip for mapping" to the location section. Folks still don't understand that the calendar will map it for their viewer, IF ... they put in enough info for the map to find it.

I just got another complement on how wonderful this calendar is. My contributors LOVE how easy it is to use!

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Just an update: The limit and some other stuff are in the queue for an upcoming scheduled release.
