The CBG 2.0

Vreeg- No worries about that- I can't even make it to Steerpike's CE game consistently and all I have to balance is work; no family. :o. Thank you again for the kind words.

What's with the Twitter-style character limit in the Tavern?

[Nomadic]

It's hardcoded into the shoutbox. I can see about fixing it. Right now things have been a bit rough since I just started my fall term back at the college so I haven't had as much free time to fix things. I will do my best though :)

[Elemental_Elf]

Its not a huge concern, it should be placed fairly low on the to do list (if at all). I was just taken aback by it earlier today. :)

[Ninja D!]

We can always work around that, if needed. Do posts have a character limit?

[sparkletwist]

Yes, but I don't think it's going to create too many problems.
It's about 61k (that is, around 61000 8-bit characters) per post.

I wrote a 12 page paper over the summer and it comtained 15,000 characters (not including spaces). So I think 61,000 characters is a perfectly acceptable limit (i.e. some where in the neighborhood of 48 pages worth of information in a single post) ^^

Did that limit lead to any snipping of posts from the old boards?

Testing this out from Android right now.  The only problem I'm finding is that I can't scroll through Recent Posts or the Tavern. These don't seem exceptionally major, but if they can be fixed, that would be cool.

I think I remember Vreeg mentioning that he hit the character cap once but other than that, never.

I'll reword- is it shorter than the old board's limit.

I ran into that limit at least once. I was more concerned this time if we may have lost some data on long old posts.

Odd, it works fine on iOS Safari, though it did take a couple of tries to align my two fingers right to make the section scroll. If it still won't I'm not sure if scrolling oddities like this are anything really fixable on the site's end, because it is really up to how the browser renders it. What browser are you using?

[Nomadic]

No we didn't lose any data due to post length differences. Regarding browser variations I can work with those. Just please don't ask me to code for IE6.

This is how it was for me on the old site, using the default browser on my Droid 1. A simple work around for that issue (on that particular phone on the old site) was to use the Opera browser. The site was also broken on there but it was in a way that it showed ALL of the recent threads and all of the current page of the tavern.

On 2.0, I have the same issue. It's better now because the option for the 50 recent tavern posts is outside of the tavern box so I can select that. Even on the old site, I had taken to going to the individual boards to check threads instead of looking at the recent ones, anyway.

And here I thought I was wordy and detailed. I could see Vreeg doing it but I didn't know it had ever come up otherwise.

I thought it wasn't letting me scroll on my iPad 2...I'll have to check again, I guess.

[SDragon]

For the record, I'm using the Dolphin HD browser. I'll check out Opera, and if I can find it, Safari. I'll let you guys know if anything goes on with those.

Edit- Nope, no luck with Opera, and Safari isn't available. The tavern isn't as big of an issue as the recent posts, imho.
