I've noticed when typing out lengthy PMs that there's a 5000 character limit. It's a minor thing, I know, but cutting chunks out of your messages, or splitting them into two entries is rather irritating. It also goes against our human instinct to avoid double-posting.
Could this be changed, please?
If you're writing an essay, why don't you email them instead? :p
5000 letters (5 KB of plain text) seems overkill to me to be honest, if anything, it should be reduced :monster:
I don't see how a 5,000 character PM is different from a 5,000 character post, except that they're far rarer. Still, I'll take your point and try e-mailing from now on, inconvenient though it may be. :D
How many posts are there that are actually that large anyway? :p
Stories in Arts and Writing :D
I've had millions of PMs over the character limit. Literally? Ah sure, why not? But that's mainly due to a long quote conversation. :roll:
There are plenty of examples in EoEo, but like I said, 5,000+ messages are pretty rare, but they do exist.Quote:

I'll change it to 9999 when I have 2 free hands :p

There's a simple solution to this: "Part 1", "Part 2", "Part 3", etc. If a PM is that long, tack that on to the end.
