Character per post limit

[Winged One]

Why is there a character per post limit? Can it be disabled?

[crimson77]

I actually just posted something about this in message board outrage.

[Brianna_Sollandry]

It seems to truncate posts after about 10 lines.

I can't say I like this new "software upgrade." :-[

It's a Firefox issue, I'm pretty sure. I just sent myself an identical PM. Using IE, it came through. Using Firefox, it cut it off at a certain length. Just in case you happen to have something else besides Firefox, it might be a temporary fix to use (yuck, I know, I know) IE. Another plus, you can see GLOWING characters in IE, and not in Firefox.

I can see the glowing characters in Firefox, so something may have been fixed.

[WampaX]

How odd . . . cause I can see your glowing characters just fine . . . in Firefox.

The character limit may be one of those editable variables that YaBB has, so all RawBear has to do is find it and change it/delete it.

[Brianna_Sollandry]

I use Safari - so it is not a Firefox issue.

I'd sure hate to have to go to IE just to read & write here...

Oh, okay. Well, yay, I just checked in Firefox and saw my pretty glowy letters, and I couldn't yesterday. So that's one positive for the upgrade.

Amen. I'm posting from IE at the moment for the purposes of playing around with stuff, but if I have to do it long term, it will majorly get on my nerves.

Ugh...I don't have a holy symbol, so using IE isn't really an option. :P

[Cougaar]

I usually use Firefox nowadays, but still have IE kicking around.. trouble is, I keep timing out when I try to access the main site and the forum. So, IE isn't an option here. :'(

I know for certain that it works with Internet Explorer, and I've gotten it to work with firefox (but it usueally takes half a dozen tries, because I modify the post, then delete it, then try it again. Blah). And I believe there's a 550 (approx) character count limit (but don't quote me on that).

Well then that's your limit----I have to say I'm not thrilled....this is going to cause serious problems in the community world build

[HempRope]

So what's the verdict?

(And I have never been able to see glowing letters with my FIrefox... and I still don't.)

[LadyGlutter]

RawBear rolled back to the old version of YABB until he could work some kinks out. I can't see the glowy letters anymore, either, but that's just because we're back to where we were. For the time being.

[HempRope]

Ah, yes... I just read the whole Outage thread.

Thanks, LG.
