XF 1.2 No more than 10,000 characters ERROR

[Steverd]

How does Xenforo count characters?
I just posted an interview that I got the error, you can't post a message with more than 10,000 characters.

So I cut and paste into Word to check.
The message has 1,832 words with 9,885 characters WITH Spaces or 7,969 without Spaces

So why does this message pop up when I am only using 9,885 characters?

Did you use any bb code?

So I got my interview down to 1,830 words, 7,970 Character and 9,817 Characters with Spaces before the article would post.

IF you count the thread Title/header is was 9,889 characters with Spaces.

Here is the thread:

That is from the page source, which includes bb code.

OH SURE, if you do it THAT WAY
I now get 10,450 characters with Space. so I am actually over the 10,000 limit - NICE!!!

You could of course increase the message character limit if 10,000 isn't enough.

ACP > Options > Messages > Maximum Message Length

Thanks for the setting location. I would've thought 10,000 would be plenty.
But maybe not for a long article or Interview. I really didn't want to divide into parts.

Is there a possibility to set different message length for some forums? e.g. forumA 10000 characters, forumB 5000 characters, ...?

 

[Paul B]

No, it's a global setting.

I'm posting so that I can come back to this in the future. This may be useful to me in the future, should I have interviews.
