Hi all,

My first post for a wile, and as we have just had Christmas I suppose I should start by saying I hope yours was good if you celebrated it.

I am wondering if it would be possible to have a full description of a sample in a list of a user's uploaded samples, list of samples in a pack, or whatever?

At the moment, if a description is lengthy, then in the list you get partway down it and then get an ellipsis. The result of this is that you have to go in to the sample page to read the full description.

I wonder if it would be possible to do something like on Youtube, for example, where if a description is long you get a "more" button which you can use to display the full description on that page?

Do you get my meaning?

Is this something that could be considered?
:idea:

Look forward to responses, and wish all a happy 2010.

S

Excellent idea IMO.

I would also like to see about twice as many characters shown in the truncated description anyway. Apart from a bit more scrolling down some pages I don't think it need bugger up formatting too much.
