The problem IS A BUG IN THE BOARD SOFTWARE.

The fully posted code is there in PREVIEW mode. I copied it back and counted the lines and it was the correct size.

Then when you press the CONTINUE and post the code it DOES NOT post the full code. It limits it to about 750+ lines of code.

Look here for the testing

Even posting with UBB code instead of HTM, the post is truncated, pointing to a UBB message size limit.



as indicated here.

I didn't check lines, but I could. I remember where it broke - it was pretty consistent.

I guess I was trying to be diplomatic and not say

(maybe that Dale Carnegie training is working?)

hmmm...
weird.
with normal linefeeds (pressing enter) I got only to over 6000 lines but with <br> it went over 8000!
with space in place of line break I got the same data shown totally.

Well, as usual, it's about overall size and not just length.

I know I am beating a dead horse!

I just wish we could put in a couple of mods for this board.. It may just help us..

One thing that would be really cool is the "Quick Reply."

It looks like the long subject worked ok...

The board has been slow...Ive resorted to having to play pool on Yahoo to pass time. Anyone up for a challenging round?

k, now we got official answer:
http://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=35776#35776

it's not basically a bug.
it's a limitation in features.

the coder didn't think one would like long posts so he left the single text-field limit of mysql in there.
now we suffer the fruits.

I see you were trying to circumvent the long-post problem by placing the entire 200K post in the subject line - unique solution to be sure!

What about this:
Quote:

attach large text documents to posts



as a possible solution? Describe the post, maybe highlight some interesting parts of our code, and offer the entire file for download.
