I don't know about the total allowed but maybe the difference between the text file and the actual post is that you have to take into account that your post actually includes pictures and links?

Could you maybe put the "Older Events/Retirements" section down to a lower post and link to it? Meanwhile I can check and see what is up.

Oh of course! Like I said, I am still reporting it :) I just wanted to help out until I get an answer on it! Glad my temp fix worked.

There is not much that we can do here. I can't see any changes on the back end, but I would advise to separate the post among a few so that you do not hit the maximum on one.
