I'm having the same problem.  I just started starring projects and have very few 
starred.  The issue happened using two different devices (PC with IE v6 and T-Mobile 
G1 with Android browser) which makes me think it has something to do with the user 
profile since both used the same profile login.

to alexkon,
you have 71 stared projects?it is great,i just have 25!
i canot stared,my god!
so ,what is wrong???
Is there a limit on that number?
i think many people need an answer!!

I started to experience a similar problem with starring developers after having
starred 25 of them. Any chance of lifting that limit? I guess I will never need to
bookmark more than 200 projects or more than 100 developers.

We are currently evaluating the service impacts involved with setting a higher limit.

Thanks for the update. In any case, please document existing limits by showing an
error message when the user tries to star the 26th item. Silently reverting to the
unstarred state is confusing and looks like a bug.

I completely agree, I filed another issue for specifically fixing the feedback
mechanism, see issue 2163. Leaving this bug open to deal with the actual limit value.

Got the same issue

Same issue here as well. Since it's already being evaluated, I know there's not
benefit to throwing my "+1" in here, but I'm curious what ningerso thinks some of the
service impacts could be .....

Wow, I thought it was a bug. So, is the limit 25? Because that's way too few. At
least 50 would be nice. Also curious about the service impacts...

50 is still less for the ppl who work on multiple technologies...

please make it 100...

and for the ppl who own/contribute to the projects, should get more..

i m still doubt, wht could be the problem with google in providing Unlimited stars to
eveeryone.... ???

Same problem for me. As I use this as a way to bookmark the project I'm more
interested in 25 is a very slow limit. It would be nice to be able to categorize the
projects and make the star unlimited.

This limit is very strange. It has been over 5 months and no solution. Google must
have some very good reason for not lifting this limit.

I wonder if they are going to release a new interface?

Yes, it would be nice to see a fix / resolution pumped out.

 Issue 2713  has been merged into this issue.

I have wanted to star more projects almost 50 times now.  Please remove this limit.

jacob13moon - any update?

I want an update on this. Leaving so many of stranded like this really shows the bad
side of Google.

I'm working on it. Removing the limit itself is simple but we have to make sure we are 
able to fetch and display updates for all the starred projects on the user Starred 
Projects page without impacting server-side/client-side latency. No guarantee, but I 
think we will be able to lift the limit in a few weeks.

 Issue 2879  has been merged into this issue.

wow it's 1 year issue never know that ;o

+1 on this issue.  Really an annoyance, since this is the only nice way to track a
project without joining.  Also on Firefox 3.5, and also on Flock, both on OS X 10.5.
 Has it really been a year?  I did some test using Firebug.  And in a nice response,
hidden in the HTTP response: {"starred":false,"limit":25,"limit_reached":true}


Wow, great ui.  And all this time I thought it was a stupid plugin in my browser had
somehow broken the functionality.  


So the question is, does it really code Google much to allow 25+ projects to be
watched?  Just open this up to at least 50 or 100.

 Issue 2895  has been merged into this issue.

Instead of quickly hiding away the link to "View starred projects" when the star
limit is exceeded (currently 50), it would be nice to keep the link around so that
the user can go to the list to "unstar" projects to make room for more.

+1 on this issue (i need more then 50) and not getting an errormessage when trying to
star the 51 project is a big bug imho.

If performance is the issue here, remove the dropdown thingy, perhaps create a
seperate "starred by you" page, since we don't visit that page that much, or rethink
the whole "starred project" alltogether...

Regards,

 Issue 3577  has been merged into this issue.

Any plan to extend the limit?

I've just got the 50 items limit. Actually I am wondering why you would want to have a 
limit for this sort of things, considering that there are bookmarking services 
available for the several years (even you have Google Bookmarks.) Considering the 
amount of projects on Google Project Hosting, it is very easy for any serious user to 
have more than 50 stared project.

2 years...and we still stuck with this limit ;p

Some sort of error message would be nice as a "short term" fix given the amount of
time this bug as been open.

I see that's a limit. How bad... :S

Removing this limit will make using google code much better.

{"starred":false,"limit":50,"limit_reached":true}
are you kidding? this makes code.google looks like a pet project!

I can't believe that google coders are so bad to not close this bug after so much 
time ticket is open, i'm thinking now that this is not a BUG this is a FEATURE!

maybe they want keep this limit to prevent the abuse of stars and use the star count 
as an internally interesting-projects discovery engine, it is a 
"social-psychological-algorithm" (it's like a vote, but if I
have a limited number of star I will star only super-interesting projects, like if I 
have limited money I'll buy only what I really need)

I understand their purpose, but i don't agree because i want to star a lot of project 
to keep track of them, and surely i don't have time to unstarr an old entry to make 
space for a more interesting one... 

I'm using read-it-later now to keep track of interesting projects

Best regards
Stefano.

I wonder how many comments we can add to this issue before another "social-
psychological-algorithm" kicks in ;.)

By the way everyone, I found this starring issue annoying for a little while, before just making a code.google.com 
favourites folder in Chrome, and adding projects I'm interested in to this folder.  Done.

i'm too far from google HQ, anyone nearby should do some protest for this or we 've
to wait until 2012, i think ;p

Google code is a great project hosting. Personally I love it. It basically provides
everything I need in a very simple and usable way "ala google", but the lack of
constant maintenance basically makes it an abandoned software.

Once the base platform had been released 4 (or 5?) years ago very few "big"
improvements have been made aside from Mercurial integration and the user requests
are pretty much ignored, no matter if the issues keep acquiring new "stars" every day
and users complain.

Personally I'll keep sticking with Google Code also if this situation won't be
resolved (as I think) but the fact that such a beautiful platform is abandoned makes
me feel a little sad.

Lucky for those have not reached the 50 stars limit I think.

Only reason I am here because I follow some of the project here. I wish they moved it
across to something like github so that I would not have this same issue.

 Issue 3970  has been merged into this issue.

What? A 50 project limit? That's lame and it's been open since 2008.

I think projects and codes should be stared infinitely without limit.
