::Forum - Character bio size limit?

Year 11 Day 287 15:23	Character bio size limit?
Glumchee Gramorgg	I've been inactive for a couple months so I'm a bit in the dark about goings on in Darkness these days. Has some size limit been imposed on character bios? I only ask because I just tried editing my bio and it seems to be getting cut off at the end. I actually deleted a few lines so it wasn't any longer than it used to be and yet it always displayed fine before. I'm just curious as to whether this is a bug or something else.

Ellias Aubec	Ys, it was reduced for some reason in the last few months. Not much you can do about it I'm afraid. ____________

Weylin vi Cron	Any way you could get it corrected back to the old way?

Glumchee Gramorgg	Hmm, so not only does my character exceed the weight restrictions on vehicles, but now my bio is over the limit too. Discrimination I tell you! :p As Weylin said, though, is this a permanent change or something that's going to be fixed at some point? ____________

Ellias Aubec	I have no idea who changed it. I would guess was part of one of the syncs but can't tell you if it was deliberate or just a side affect of something else. Best to either hope a coder sees this that can do something about it, make a bug report, or ask a coder nicely. ____________

Hal Breden	It's not a coder thing, it's a DB field size thing, more than likely. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Ellias Aubec	Well Hal, coders change the DB - don't think anyone else has access to change it. ____________

Hal Breden	Pretty sure not all coders can just run whatever queries they like to change the tables, Ellias. It'd probably be Sin or Vey. Maybe Clarr, but he'd probably just say to talk to Vey or Sin. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies."

Mikel von Bianchi	Both the description and bio fields were changed to 12288-max character strings. Don't know who did it and it's not really important, but we do probably need to look into a way to change it back to something longer. ____________ [19:48] .Zhao> Items know they're inside me

Azala Naranek	Agreed. Too short. ____________ "Well, you're Azala, so you always tend to be 'bad', even when you're being 'good'."

Glumchee Gramorgg	Yeah, I'd like to put my bio back up even if I'm not important enough that anyone would read it anyway. :p ____________
