Has there also been an enforcement on the length of a post that wasnt mentioned in the patch notes?


I've got a post that I've been editting for quite some time and now its coming up and telling me it's exceeding the 20k character limit. Yesterday I was able to edit it. Today its too long and its too long even if I just try to Edit and Submit it without any changes.


Curious, does the 20k character limit refer to the Graphical 20k chars or the HTML 20k chars?


BTW, its the resources link in my signature in case you want the example I'm referring to.



I've been having the 20K character problem, according Word it has 7.5K (its a big post), even if I remove over 2 thirds of the post I still get the problem.



The limit is now 60K I believe. Edit: 60K and keep in mind that includes HTML. So if you have a 40K char post + 25K of HTML code, it's not gonna go through.

I just cut and pasted my Resources (see sig) post into MS Word:

In its graphical form: 5,999 characters with spaces included
In its HTML form: 16,457 characters with spaces included


Could you please look at this and see if there's a bug?




Li-Deltan,


Any update on this?

I am still being forced to log in after an hour's inactivity.


Lithium, what's the point of even asking us to save our passwords, if you're not going to honor them?

It's been several days now.... when are these NEW problems going to be fixed? Nothing more frustrating than an udpate that introduces new bugs that stay in the system for months and months. Lithium, can you give us an ETA on when these are going to be cleaned up? Are you even still monitoring this thread? (silence from you for two days now)

The Lithium Upgrade was point less... I still have to log in 4 or 5 times after a 20 min step away from these fourms just to get back in here.....


BOOO on lithium...


Changes worked fine for about 2 days and now we are seeing similar problems...


Best bet would be to find a new fourm hosting program and start the SWG Forum all over!

Have we had our ability to edit our posts take away or is this an error? I made a post on the 19 Questions thread and realised I made a few typos. This is the message I get when I try to go and edit it now.

I hope this hasn't been changed as this really would be a shame to those of us that use it for it's intended reasons.

Threads I read before the upgrade are properly greyed out as read. 90% of the threads I read after the upgrade do not get greyed out. A few have but most continue to show up highlighted as if I never read them. Refresh the screen and logging does nto correct this.

We could never use our Edit feature in Dev threads before the update anyway, I think the forum software thinks we are trying to create a new thread instead of Editing a post so we get the the above error.

Lithium-Admin: Can you please give us some feedback on the DEV TRACKER changes? I've read every post on thread, and these two issues seem to be the TOP TWO:


1) Dev tracker is highlighting COMMUNITY MEMBER posts and showing the thread as "new" (bold). The old way was much easier to use, where once you read the DEV post itself, the Dev Tracker showed the thread in the "grayed out" color.

2) When clicking on Dev Tracker posts (and bookmarks, too, in some cases), it is not taking you to that post. It is taking you to the top of the thread page instead.


These are two MAJOR changes that really affect the way we view the forums. That said, the Dev Tracker is almost unusable now. I don't even feel like tracking it anymore with the way it is right now. I can't tell what I've read already and what I haven't.


Are you going to fix this SOON? (Tonight?) You responded to many problems, but they were mostly limited issues (1 or 2 people posting about them). When can we expect an update to the major issues (many many people posting about them)?






It's been pretty quiet here for the last couple of days??Can we please get a response on these subjects Li-Deltan?

Do you ever plan to hire competent web-designers who actually know how to make your forums compatable with different browsers? Using IE causes many to have serious stability problems, and using Netscape or Mozilla means going without the functionality of the graphical editor. Ill be excited about a forum software update when you allow me to use the browser I wish without me having to suffer a serious lack of functionaility.

I've been on vacation for over a week, and since I've been back I've noticed that thread I've read are not longer being marked as read! This problem seems most prominent with the dev tracker...

It still doesn't remember my password. And about once every 3 days it won't let me log in no matter what I do.


/sigh


This fixes nothing.
