Stop Limiting Forum Posts to 1000 Characters!

[Sylve]

I am saying this because there have been quite a number of forum threads where the content of the thread relates to me and I want to say everything I feel needs to be said to either support to contradict the OP but I can't because of the fact that Forum posts are limited to 1000 characters.

Because of this, I have been forced to omit some very important points that I felt had significant relevance and as a result I feel greatly frustrated.

If the character limit was 1500 or 2000, because I can truly convey my thoughts in full within 1500-2000 characters, it would be greatly appreciated.

Solution:
Step 1} TYpe out reply in its entirety.
Step 2} Select All -> Cut
Step 3} Type "Edit Incoming" and Post it.
Step 4} Get yourself a nice strong whiskey.
Step 5} Edit Post, Paste back in your real reply, save change.

Yeah its a little annoying, but it gets the job done.

Does anyone else have an issue of your forum sig disappearing if you don't refresh the page before editing your post?

When I first post something, the like brackets below it (and below any other posts that have been put up since I last loaded the page) are empty like () and if I hit edit on it while it's like that, I get taken to the advanced editing page. Editing it there and saving it removes my sig from the post.

If I do the initial post and then refresh the page and then hit edit, I get an in page edit box (similar to the reply with quote box) instead of going to the separate advanced page and the sig remains intact.

In the end I have to do this silly little song and dance to do a proper post: post "edit incoming" (or something like that), refresh the page, THEN edit in the post correctly.

It's odd... o.O

I have to do an 'Editing for length' pretty much every time I quote someone or want to post pictures. (Which is 98% of my posts) I agree with everyone else in that they really should just do away with the limit completely.

Another fun aspect of this is that it's basically impossible to submit a bug report using the templates they ask you to use without editing to bypass the limit.

The daily limit is actually a 24hr limit. Basically each post counts towards your limit for 24hrs after it's made. I've personally only ran into the limit once but it CAN get annoying when you're having a back and forth discussion in a thread and you smack into it. The limits are fine for newer players but I agree that once your character is 50 and your post count is high enough the limits should be increased or removed.

forums were so bad in beta but they could lower the restrictions now lol
