    Who knows? But if you are going to write a message that long there's no way I'm reading it. Not enough time in the day.

    before the upgrade, it was 25,000 characters. i hit it. image



    copy/paste a huge amount of text on the test forum to find out or at least ballpark it.

    What kind of message? Private (PM) or public forum? Start off with BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front), to see if it is worth the read.

    No I wrote a not long at all post and when I attempted to post a message came up like "message must be between 5 and 255 characters or something like that. No one else get that?

    If there is a limit to a message length, perhaps it should be measured in screen real estate, rather than words. Scrolling through 35 feet (the necessary height of my monitor with the dot pitch unchanged such that I would not have to scroll) of images lightly interspersed with text only to find little of interest is irritating.

    it was asking for a subject text. i find it annoying but doesnt do it often, thankfully.

    Aha!



    Yes, I have gotten that, and I now know what your problem is.



    You were accidentally typing in the title/subject line, not the main body of the message post section.



    It will also sometimes happen if you are posting a reply to the thread and the message title has gotten deleted from that line.



    Just more stupidities from this software.
