I don't know whether this is actually a bug or not, however, there seems to be a limit to how much can be posted in a My Message PM post.

Has anybody else experienced this?

Also, can this limit be changed somewhere?

When I try to do a preview before posting a long PM, I receive the following message:

Not Found
The requested URL /forums/ubbthreads.php was not found on this server.

This is when I want to copy and paste something there.

Anything beyond about 10 lines gives me that message.

Anything 10 lines or shorter works ok.

I don't think it is a text limit bug, however, something is causing this to happen.

We use standard TEXT fields for all of the post body fields which can hold a maximum of 65535 characters. If needed these could be converted to MEDIUMTEXT with a couple mysql queries. MEDIUMTEXT would hold a maximum of 16777215 characters.

So it should work the same as it does for normal topic posts?

The normal topic posts texts work great!

For some reason I am having a problem in the length of the PM posts.

It should, yes. I've been testing to see if I can find any problem with the limit in a PM and so far I've been able to post some pretty big stuff. Can you send me a test PM here with what is getting cut off?

I think I discovered an interesting problem.

It isn't the length, it is something in the copied text.

It is a copy of a person's email address within the copied text.

For example, the @ in the email address in the copied text is causing the whole problem.

I removed the @ from the email address and I was able to copy the whole text successfully.

The strange thing though is that it worked OK in another person's forum using the same version.

Anyway, now that I know what it is, I can work around that problem.
