Can we increase the amount of space allowed for specifying our "favorite tags" for controlling what is shown in My AskMefi and My Mefi?
I like to use tags to filter what is shown on those pages, and I like to use a large number of narrowly focused ones. That means I bump into the 800-char limit, which lets me have 90-100 tags.
Any chance of increasing that limit?
If it helps, I don't need different tags for Mefi and AskMefi. In fact I would prefer if I only had to specify tags once, and the same ones were used for both.
These features are especially useful to me when I haven't been spending much time on Mefi and want to quickly scan days or weeks worth of entries for ones that are especially relevant to me.

Done. You should be able to add as many tags as you'd like now. Let me know if not.

Terry Pratchett writes about how the speed of dark is faster than the speed of light, because no matter how fast light goes, the dark is always there first.
Around here, not only is the dark already there when the light arrives, but pb's there too, having just replaced the lightbulb.

I tried adding about 20 more tags, but got...

Sorry about that, you should be set now. You'll need to reselect any categories you had selected.

Something that you might want to know....
It's possible there were some newlines in the list I tried to submit. I tried to convert from a one-tag-per-line list that I made into a space-separated list as the input box asks for, but might have missed some, esp at the end.
