FAQ Truncation?! - Page 2

The Posts may have exceeded the maximum size for the database variable that stores the post text. What is the maximum size for the post variables?

I checked it is a TEXT type in the database and it has a larger limit. No I figure the import script has a limit or it hit php's timeout value.

I think Slick still has the whole FAQ and could update it. We just have to wait until he can catch up with this link.

I posted a reply to the FAQ thread which had the latest Version of the FAQ. It was truncated again and it appears this new UBB can't handle the length.

Mephisto, short of breaking it up into several Posts, do you have any suggestions?

Slick, since the forum allows uploads now why not make the FAQ in an HTML file which is indexed and all with links to the different sections in the body of the FAQ and upload that to the FAQ thread.

This has been brought up before. Unfortunately as of now, RL has too much of a hold on my time. Perhaps in a few months, I'll work on this.

Keeping it on the forum makes it easier to handle updates from several different Users.
Now Slick has made all the updates for a long time but he might have to leave again sometime and then it's much easier to just "Quote", remove quotes, "edit" and "save".
And it saves us the problem of several different Faq's being saved.

I know all these issues are easily solved but it is conveniant the way it is.
