Originally posted by royalchickenWe had to put this in to chop excessively long strings of characters that were appearing. Sometimes people like to post long lists of smilies, which, although somewhat amusing, really throws the formatting of the forums out of whack sometimes.
This shows up in posts sometimes. What is the maximum allowable word length, for future reference?
I'll try to implement a friendlier way of doing this soon!
Originally posted by royalchickenSeems like the forums are going to get some changes... I think some of the threads should be culled out. It's neat to be able to go back and see what people posted 3 years ago, but their seems to be a lot of trouble for Chrismo in the forum posts tonight.
Thank you sir. As always, your efforts are appreciated 😀
Short term solution, Chrismo could just asked rwingget to abbreviate a few words per long-winded post. That would probably save several hundred characters a month.

Of course, if we had the URL BB code active, that wouldn't be a problem.... 🙂
Originally posted by ChrismoMaybe you could stop them typing in that word before it reaches the limit.
