I've also increased the max chars for the description/comment from 300 to 600.


Hey atmanactive, Thanks for your answer. What exactly is your vision of the category selection? Do you want a main category and these main categories have subcategories where you can choose from? To find the right category easier, I've added a search function to it.

Looking forward to further feedback


Yes, exactly. Instead of presenting several dozen categories, try to group them to as few as possible, and then, when the user chooses the main group, then open the drop-down with just those subgroups. Three levels max, of course, although, with clever thinking, you could probably get away with just two. For example, is this new post personal or technical? Is it about the O/S or an app? Hardware or software? And so on. On the other hand, a simple search/filter definitely helps.


Hey atmanactive, Thanks for your reply. I've added the feature, and it will be online very soon. Hope this improves the overall UX. But what is also wrong with the UX, because you said “The UX is horrible”?


Well, just the you-are-typing-but-I'm-ignoring-your-input-just-like-that-out-the-blue experience. Nothing else. :)


I'm sorry, but where do I ignore the input?


In the textarea input. If you set textarea maxlength to X and the user is not aware of it and types a message over X, what happens?
