Post character limit to small

Jun

2009

I started a role play forum, and the character limit is far less than that of Invisionfree, the forum software I used previously. I do believe it was 65,000 character limit, while this forums software allows 15,000? Something like that. This smaller character limit causes a problem when posting characters to use for role play, the poster has to split their characters into multiple posts, this is very inconvenient. My poll is suggesting to boost this character limit to match or surpass invisionfree's. It is too restricting to creative writers that like to give a lot of detail to their characters. And this isn't the only thing it could restrict, writers in general are restricted by this.

Yeah, you need to post your RPG posts separate. I really do think the size should be increased, though. Voted yes.

I've been waiting for this since 2007.

I'm glad to see people agree with me. Missing a feature like that can really hinder the ability to gain members. They see posting multiple times as a hassle they wouldn't have to endure on other sites, and that is not a good thing for forum admins, trying to get a good forum going on this forum version.

Bump.

C'mon folks, vote. You'll never get anything if you don't voice your opinion.

I voted yes.

While my site is not RPG based and normally would not need that many characters, I think this is great idea for the general public. I host an art website, and as such, I have a writing section. I would hate for my members to be restricted if they ever want to write a "whole book" xD

I've actually attempted that on my old site, the invisionfree one. I got 5 chapters in one post. (big chapters mind you) I couldn't even get 1 in a post on this forums software... Not very good...

But yeah, thanks for the votes everyone, gotta get more though, so keep up the voting. This feature/upgrade could potentially benefit all of us at some point.

10 for 10

More votes please.

I will gladly vote. In fact, this is the reason I came here. I made forums yesterday and noticed many of our favorite topics can't be posted because of this limit. I was thinking there was a way for me to adjust it myself in preferences, so I came here to see where it was and I find this, which explanes everything.

I vote for yes, and maybe even suggest for the added forum customization of being allowed to choose our own post character limits. How can anyone have a good debate if the post limit is so small??

9 Dadashi Hatake, on 26/06/2009 at 18h03

I agree to that as well. Either way would be nice, even if not the customization (I don't know how much harder it would be to add the interface, instead of just boosting the current limit), but yeah, it seems like this is a fairly large problem.

Keep up the votes.

And thank you to those who did and do vote.

It would be good.
Voting yes.

11 Dadashi Hatake, on 30/06/2009 at 05h44

Thanks.

Bump. Vote more.

12 Dadashi Hatake, on 09/07/2009 at 21h18

C'mon people, we gotta want this and voice it to get it. Anyone else want to vote and discuss this?

13 wuchi2009, on 25/07/2009 at 01h02

I Vote more.

I don't know about yours but my post only 3298 characters and when I post it, it said "The posted message is too big." so I would voted yes ...

14 Summer Law, on 25/07/2009 at 01h07

i vote yes

15 yes
0 no

OMG i have never seen 0 no's

15 MOTVN, on 28/07/2009 at 04h49

how does the bar gets higher?

16 Dadashi Hatake, on 28/07/2009 at 07h57

17 and 0

If only this company was more reliable. I cannot forgive and forget such a huge mistake as to delete half my forums posts and a good deal of irreplaceable writing.

So, I hope for you, the members still using this software, that they do up this character limit and make you all happier. I don't trust them anymore, so I have switched forums.

17 Doctor Inferno, on 28/07/2009 at 10h28

Why can't just forumotion increase the limits? 15000 is really pathecially small. Sad

18 Mehtevas, on 28/07/2009 at 17h18

yes.
p.s. the limit is 15999 Razz

19 Chishio, on 30/07/2009 at 03h41

I vote yes
Its stinks when I have to split up my posts

20 Dadashi Hatake, on 30/07/2009 at 07h56

Haha, 20 to 0, amazing, and I don't think this topic will be graced by a mod that can provide any information as to whether or not this is even being considered.

Oh well, back to writing my book.
