Ability to set character limit in BuddyPress?

I would like to limit characters in BuddyPress posts to certain limit . Ex: Set it to the limit of 150 … just like twitter’s 140.

Googled about it and found nothing. Does any one have Idea on this?

Thanks

Simple solution is to add a maxlength attribute to the textarea field. For example

<textarea maxlength="140">

</textarea>
