As the title says, Why can't forum posts go beyond 65535 characters?

veggieman001 · 2012-06-17 21:43:26

It's the FluxBB default, as well as being around 64k.

TorbyFork234 · 2012-06-17 21:44:18

Can it be changed?

Andres-Vander · 2012-06-17 22:08:36

Probably but why would you want to?

veggieman001 · 2012-06-17 22:29:05

I don't think they'd increase it... it's a reasonable limit. Why do you want it increased?

I wanted to make a topic about sharing array based maps, but the one I wanted to share 172,800 characters long, and I wanted to share 4 of those (in code tags of course).

Actually, I looked into it, and FluxBB uses a "MEDIUMTEXT" field for the message.
Only 65535 characters can go into that.
However, they could try using a LARGETEXT.

Well, that's gonna a be a VERY large post hmm

I'd recommend using something like Pastebin and then linking to it.

Just make separate posts.

But it would have to be 3 posts, and all 3 in code which makes it look all weird. I would have to have 12 different posts to post the 4 levels I wanted to post.

I would actually recommend using a compression scheme, like http://conwaylife.com/wiki/RLE . That one's my favorite, but if you still need more compression, convert your array from base N (where N is the number of characters + 1, because 01 and 1 would get converted to be the same) to base 36 or 62, depending on the case-sensitivity of your program. Ex.
00100
11100
00001

RLE (you need to convert 0 to a and 1 to b, $ is line break, 1X can just be written as X):
2ab2b$3b2a$4ab
15->14 (not much, but its good for sparse arrays)

Base (base 3 to base 36, 0->1, 1->2):
(3x5)4LRXP
15->10

(Thanks for your base converter bob6!)
