Increasing Character Limit?

[WilsonXRS]

I haven't found a clear answer on how to increase the character limit on my forums. The default is 10000 characters and 20 pictures, how do I go about increasing that?

I use the Flexile theme if that makes any difference.

Mistypants, you are the best. That is much simpler than what I was reading, thank you so much.

Instead of creating yet another thread, I thought I'd just post my question in here.

Is it possible to increase the Maximum Message Length for just particular user groups, such as Administrators?

Not that I know of. You'll likely need an add-on.

Doh! No problem I suppose. Thanks for the quick reply

Yes, it would be useful to control Max Message Length by Groups.

Is this still true. No such option in XF core?

An add-on would still be needed for a per user group basis.

Is there any harm in increasing the character limit?

I don't think there is any harm. Just the size in Kb per message will be slightly big.
