Greetings all! We're going to implement a size restriction of 8,000 characters with a new version of the profile editing tool. This means users with large profiles, once they edit it in the new system, are going to have issues. To help prevent these issues to start, we ask that you consider lowering the character count of your profiles. I'm looping in all users that who's accounts may be affected...

NOTE: the size restriction is currently in place. Please be careful to save your data before editing.

@MattEmAngel You're using HTML code for images, try using the image code. Example:

@MattEmAngel For security reasons, HTML code will no longer work. Most basic BBcode will, and the updated profile will make that more clear.

@pangtongshu Yes, it is. And sadly I can't fix it any longer. It's around 8.5k though, so you just have to cut off a bit to get it to work. Here is the profile...

What is this? I take 10 whole minutes of my life to learn what HTML is and now you're telling me I can post images on my profile the easy way?

That's... so much easier! =D

@Ferret yah I can't edit my profile, every time I do I get a page telling my the AG server is down and that I have to reload for a live version, doing this fixes the tab but the edit it restored to the unedited version. So until I can find a fix for this I am questionably stuck...

Perhaps the new editing system can't handle profile sizes as large as 65,536 characters (that appears to be the old limit as that is the largest profile size of affected users).

@JACKinbigletters If it errors on edit, it means your profile is to big. Cut a bit more.
