    When I try to edit a beer listing such as ABV, it says notes need to be minimum of 50 characters. I just want to add the ABV that the person who entered the beer failed to add when they created the listing. Why do I need to come up with 50 characters just for ABV?

    Yea, just hold down the space bar.


    Or use the ABV in a sentence. :wink:

    "According to the label on my bottle the ABV of this beer is x.x%."

    There is a 60 character template. Feel free to cut n paste, and sub can for bottle.

    And in all seriousness, this is way more helpful for us when we am editing the beer, than just a number.

    Something about the image of a report notice popping up, and they open it, and it just says
    Gave me a good chuckle

    What was the rationale for increasing the number of characters? I got to admit it's been driving me nuts a bit

    :joy:
    I mean yes. :wink:

    To prompt people to give more information when submitting change requests. We get a lot of change requests and a good portion come in with little or no information. So this has really helped cut down on those.
