Are posts limited to a certain size?

Are posts limited to a certain size, such as number of letters or words?

Also, I see from the demo that Category and Forum names are limited to 50 characters. Can that be expanded with an add-on or customization?

There is a configurable character limit on posts

Thank you for your reply. What does "configurable" character limit mean? Does that mean we can decide the size of the limits?

 

[RobParker]

Yes, in the admin panel you can set the message length (in characters).

That's awesome. Apologies of this is a stupid question, but is there a limit to the limit we can set? We'll probably want to have plenty of space for very long messages.

I don't know, sorry. There probably is at least from a technical point of view.

We set ours as 20000 but I imagine you could go a lot higher.

So far as the other part of my question "Also, I see from the demo that Category and Forum names are limited to 50 characters. Can that be expanded with an add-on or customization?"

Would it be better for me to start a new thread for this question?

No, the node title limits cannot be changed.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know if a web developer or someone could change the code to allow for longer titles?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, it would be fairly simple to do so.

There is one addon which lengthens the node titles, but I am not sure if it works with the newest XF versions. You should ask the author of the addon before you install it.
