Hi,

I tried to email description of a forum problem to the address at the bottom of these pages, "forummaster@mobileburn.com". My email to this address is bouncing. Not knowing how else to contact you about these problem, I'm posting them to Site Discussion.

The problem was with my lengthy post about the 3650 in this thread:
http://forums.mobileburn.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83

My message was getting cut off at a certain length, and being overwritten with text from earlier in the message. By trial and error, I discovered that shortening my message to 2000 chars avoided this issue. But you might want to check the setttings and find out why longer posts are doing that (we are allowed 10000 chars, after all). :) Looks like a buffer overflow somewhere...

Thanks.

That's interesting, because I have seen a somewhat similar problem when editing the site's templates.

There was an absolute byte limit for the combined total number of bytes for a bunch of the templates that make up the site header.

One byte too much, and it would start rewriting itself over sections of itself. Very odd.

For now I should probably lower the max number of bytes to fix that.

Oh yeah, email address is fixed now. Forgot about that when I set up the site.

Thanks.
