Looking into this today.

Could I ask if you are copy-pasting text into this from an external program, and if so, which one?
Bit of context: This error is happening on the database level. MySQL indicates that the post has too much data to fit inside the column type. However if I count the characters in your post right now, it's less than 1/4th of the limit, so I am wondering if there is something weird going on causing the content to get cut off at this length. Sometimes it can be caused by things like invisible special Unicode characters and stuff that can get inserted by other programs so I just want to rule that out first D:
We are exploring other potential causes at the same time.

We're working on on getting a backup booted up with those forum posts so that we can restore them!
💖 ✨ 🤗
UPDATE: We got our backup successfully booted up :)
Currently seeing if it's possible to automatically fix all the posts that got cut off.
If that doesn't work, we'll have instructions on how you can get your post fixed by filing a ticket. But hopefully we can get this to work so it saves everyone the effort <3

- I edited your posts to put them back to the backups, but if you have your own backups, feel free to edit the posts now - it should no longer get cut off.
Unfortunately doing automatic restores didn't work, so for the rest, I'm going to ping siteupdate later tonight with instructions on how to contact us to get the backup data restored.

Here you go guys, there is information here: General Updates: February 2 <3
Tl;dr you can file a ticket and we'll check the backup we have of the database and see if we can fix your post! Also we (shoutout to King lol) greatly increased the character limit so it will no longer be an issue for you moving forward. <3
