forum bug?
« on: August 10, 2010, 07:28:04 PM »
Tried to post a one sentence reply in Zeno's thread in the O'club.  It wouldn't accept the post.
Got a message that said "you have exceeded 80 character limit" or something like that.
"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Way to go genius, you broke the friggin' Internet.

If you were to change the subject in your post it will get around that 80 character limit error message.

Thanks.  The internet is now fixed.  ;)

Anyway, now that the internet is fixed, the "limit" in on the thread title, IE: RE: forum bug.

Why it happens?  Dunno....

It happens when someone types is a really long subject line that's just shy of 80 characters (the limit).  Then someone replies to it and the system adds some characters, putting it over the limit.

So, it's not really a bug.   :D
