The recent code updates and changes don't really simplify or improve the template. The issues I see:
Using {{loop}} is gross and doesn't really simplify anything;
Requiring a hardcoded message length is gross;
The bubble itself got shifted to the right and a newline got added in the code updates;
In a multi-line message, the borders wouldn't be < and >, they would be vertical pipes.
Hope that clarifies my revert. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:44, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, that's fine. However, it would have been great if the template automatically resized itself according to the message size. I guess I failed in that attempt. I'm sure even you'd have to admit that it would have been brilliant if it could have done that. Thanks. Set Sail For The Seven Seas323° 40' 0" NET 21:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
