Vanilla 2 Post Character Limit?

oinkfu

I see there's a post character count limit, is there anyway to change this setting? The default character count limit is rather annoyingly short on a discussion forum.

Linc

Go to /conf/config.php and add this line:
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '2000';with whatever you want the new character limit to be.

@Lincoln Thanks, brilliant.

Lincoln, I just added that line to the config file and am still getting the character limit for the body post. http://screencast.com/t/EzOm9QSXr.

Help?

perhaps you didn't set config statement correctly in config.php

if you just added the above statement you reduced it to 2000.

try changing comment length in dashboard in your forum -> floodcontrol

/index.php?p=/vanilla/settings/floodcontrol

if there is no line in $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength']
8000 is the default number of characters.

16000 is 16000 characters. = put the number of characters you want.

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '16000';
