Too Many Characters?!

[Cherrymage]

I edited my Map Development post, when I click on Preview Changes, it says something like this: "Your post is ??? characters long. Please shorten it to 1000000 (or something like that) characters."

P.S. Does BB code counts?

 

[Orcnet]

BB codes is as same as texts, it does count.

How lame. Apparently we are not allowed to have good looking threads.

You must have put a ridiculous amount of shit in there. The character limit is capped at 100,000.

counting that a image link can be like.. 50+ characters? it's not THAT much.

AFAIK this is the first time in my entire stay here someone has even mentioned the cap. I can think of few threads that legitimately can't be formatted in under 100,000 characters.

Just make your pretty looking threads fit the 100,000 character limit. Also, host the image on an image hosting provider if the link is long. As sun tzu once said:

There are some bbcodes and links that must not be used. Thus, the poster who knows how to vary and adapt to changing situations so as to gain advantages is one who is skillful in applying the art of posting. The poster who is familiar with the forum layout but does not know how to vary and adapt to changing situations will not be able to take advantage of what that layout has to offer. In bbcodes, if the poster cannot master the art of variations and adaptability, he will not be able to deploy his bbcodes to maximum advantage despite understanding the five strategic considerations.

actually, if I was to post the textual document of my "secret" project, it wouldnt fit anymore, since it is 101,407 characters long as of now

 

[LordDz]

Just split it into two posts?

 

[Ralle]

Try now.

Pastebin images are shorter than album/post images, just saying.

 

[Orcnet]

I'm so sure why we require to stay under the cap limit of post count, I would not bother to see a massive wall of text taunting me to read every one of them.

 

[sonofjay]

I'd seen some very awesome and appealing thread before but they didn't hit the limit(I didn't even know that we have one). The heck did you put in your thread?

I've gotten that message a while back. It happened when I've directly dragged a screenshot from paint onto a post. I think that's what you're doing. So, read this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...w-add-screenshot-your-map-description-241054/

Nope. Instead I put lots of data and stories in my thread
