I didn't realize there was a limit to the number of characters in a PM allowed now.....5000. I got through typing what I had to say & went to send it. It came back....you have 6800 characters....please reduce it to the limit number of 5000. I deleted the quoted message I was replying to.....that was good for only about 400 characters....oops....had to shorten even more. I got to the point where I just ended up breaking it up into 2 PM's & sending what I had to say that way rather than trying to get rid of that many characters & not waying what I needed to say.

I know.....too wordy.....blah blah blah....lol.....but sometimes there is just so much that needs to be said...really. I don't remember there being a limit on the old forums size for PM's....wondering if this is going to be a permanent thing or whether it will be able to be changed?

Yep, this is a default feature that I'm certain can be changed.

That said, it might be better for the functionality to remain that way and break them up into two.

I'm curious to see what DocJohn says on this one.

It might be a good time for me to tell you all that PM's are the same way.

Sorry... just one of those things easily overlooked. We bumped up the limit to 25,000 chars, which should be enough for most.

Wooooooooah. So I can totally write an entire essay, send it to people, and have them edit it and then send it to my prof.

No, won't do that... but 10,000+ word essays are fairly common for me.

Thank you doc John.....the upped limit really helps.....thought I would never hit that limit....lol.....but I even went over that limit on one PM......way too wordy....but it wasn't all my words.....was trying to work something out & needed some examples.....that was when I went over, but it wasnt all necessary, so I was able to skimm back to under the 35,000 limit.....oh, did you raise the limit...I thought I saw it say 35,000, not 25,000....oh well, I will probably never get to that limit again.

I know I'm wordy, but not usually that wordy...lol

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
