Re: Question about characters limit?

Posts over 65535 bytes get cut off at 65535 bytes. If that makes the BBcode invalid in certain ways, then you get the INVALID BBCODE error.

Also, note that a byte is different from a character. Because SMF stores "special" characters in a particularly space-inefficient way, each Russian character uses about 6 bytes, and each line break also uses 6 bytes.

by the way theymos, i would wish to know something about, because some of the people writes more than 65535 bytes, for an example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=948965 which had to use two posts to complete his content.

are there any plans to increase the byte limit to let the people make a more detailed reply or something?

maybe we can impose a hidden post policy which is applied to the long posts, which is not loaded without asking permission of the thread reader. Huh

I second this idea. It will definitely help everyone particularly users posting in local forums in their own language as different language use different amount of bytes (as theymos enlightened us). A good option would be,as suggested, to add a Read More option appear after a certain characters limit so it doesn't look too long if that post is quoted by someone
