Right, we're aware of the limit, and you don't have to convince us that the site should be able to handle it. This clearly isn't the behavior we intended, and you don't have to convince me that I should fix it, you know? It would really suck if you had to separate your list, and I want the site to work as intended just as much as you do.

Anyway, thanks for reporting this. I can see the error with previewing the post, and I think that may be the same reason you are having trouble editing it. Are you adding a lot of text in your edit?

I will troubleshoot this further and get back to you. Right now, it seems like it is an HTTP error with sending too much data at once, so it may not be a super quick-and-easy fix unfortunately, but I'll figure it out!

Also, you are right that the limit has to be more clearly written somewhere, so I will look into getting that done after this glitch is fixed. I actually thought forum posts are supposed to have a limit of 65,000 characters (according to the character count on the bottom of the reply form I'm typing into right now). So I will definitely have this clarified somewhere official and visible :)

Hm, so I tried adding that line using the same Edit form, and it went through properly. Could you try adding something else to it, I'm wondering if you're still unable to edit it right now?

Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten this issue.

I would like to ask for your help debugging this if it's okay, since I can't seem to trigger the problem for me. Could you please let me know which browser you are using? I will write you instructions on how to use the browser console to see if there is any error when you go to edit it.

Hm... Having bad internet could have caused this, and would explain why the issue seemed to only happen to you. But I guess that doesn't explain why it didn't work on mobile, unless your mobile data was also being slow? Weird.

I can confirm nothing changed on our end either O_o

Well, whatever it was... I'm also glad it's working for you again! We'll keep this bug report open for a bit longer just in case the issue pops up again, you can let me know here.

It's been a few months and it looks like there's been no further issues - think we're good to consider this closed?
