I want to make a Forum-post, but I did receive this Error-message:

The submitted message is too long to be processed. Please shorten it.


How do I change the settings in order to make a longer post ?


Appreciate your help!
 
I have a text which is not that long, only 500 words or so.

Seems to be a formatting issue as I copied the text from a Word-file.

Now that I have put the text into a text-editor and then pasting it into my Forum-Editor, it is working fine.

This XF Editor is crap. :mad:
 
If you use Chrome just right click and click "Paste as Plain Text".

Also, if you click this icon in the top right corner of the editor: plain_texteditor.webp

That will switch you to a plain text editor. This also enables you to paste without formatting.
 
now I know why some of my members were complaining that my website does not work.
They were pasting content (text) from a Word-File or from their own Homepage into the Editor at my XF-forum and then they received this Error-message.

This Error-message actually is wrong, as this Error is not related to "message is too long", but actually related to the text-formatting ONLY....
 
Have you got an example of a Word file which causes this error?

I would actually suggest that it is still the message is too long, but you have to bear in mind that formatting tags such as [color][font][size] etc all count towards the character limit.

What we need to do is prove that the message count is below the allowed limit before we start looking at other causes.
