Character Limit Bug - FIXED

reviewed by SilverFox

I've heard reports from both GenghisTheHun and EschewObfuscation that occasionally, very, very long reviews are getting vaporized by the character limit feature. This should never happen - it should result in a warning, but not the deletion of the review.

Character Limit Bug - FIXED 3

UPDATE: It ain't fixed guys! Supposed to accept up to 5000 characters, but won't. Maxes out at about 3000.

ORIGINAL COMMENT: By the way, what is the limit on characters in reviews? Can't find anything on it. I'm frequently guilty of writing exhaustively long reviews that keep getting bounced, so I have to edit out, resubmit, get bounced again, edit again, resubmit, ad nauseum. If I knew the character limit, I could write my review in a word processor that does a character count, then copy and paste into RIA.     Anyone?     (Maybe if I wrote shorter reviews I could write more of them, but one of my vocations/avocations is writing, so I'm probably hopeless.)

ria is working on the word limit problem. FYI, I used MS Word as an editor and its giving ria problems when I embed the text, in fact their removing the post all together.
