Post size notification limitation

Thread needs solution

I've just discovered there is a maximum post size, resulting in my reply being 'edited'. There was no pop up message telling me I'd overgone my allocation, when I pressed send resulting in half my reply missing.

bodgy,

I'm not too certain that it is a limitation of size. I believe it to be more of a bug or malfunction.

I have performed numerous edits on my larger posts and several times when I bounce back and forth between selecting and de-selecting the "Source" button, I have found half my post missing. I have learned to save the data before performing the edit. In fact, I create most of my posts off line so I can just post them into the editor with the codes already included. That process always gives me my original to reuse if the post becomes scrambled.

Hello,

Bodgy, I'm not aware about such message limitations. In fact I've never encountered it and it was never set.

I would try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

My error, what has happend is my rather long reply to a post, which was laid out in points like.

1. blah blah

a) blah l=blah

b:fooba

2. as above

3. as above

Lost all formatting and became scrambled putting point 3 into the middle of points 1 and two. I though I'd been truncated at first because the post shows number 1. and all text and ends with number 2. but no text.

The post lives here - http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3854#comment-4025

It was only after I typed this topic that I realised what had happened.

Hello Bodgy,

I have very strong feeling that this situation was caused by forum changes/updates applied at the time you were editing the post.

Anyway, I would perform deep testing to find out the exact reasons of the issue.

Thanks,
