BINGO!!! And the star of the day is LadyLoisette! I checked the control panel in response to this comment - and lo and behold, the default setting was 4 quotes per post. I've upped it to 10 - now, we may have to keep an eye on this to see whether it causes any issues, not that I know why it should. Please can members who noticed truncated posts go and check to see whether there's any difference now.Wendy  My story post is a little longer than 9000 words and it is all intact. It may be a quote related issue. Another forum I'm a member of only allows so many quotes per post.

Hmm. I've just been through the control panel looking for a global control to turn off HTML code, but can't find one - yet it should exist, as we had HTML off and UBB on with the previous boards. If this is still a problem, suggest you submit a ticket requesting that HTML be turned off. Wendy Hmm, maybe we need a thread for "How to clean up old posts" stuff? As opposed to a bug that needs a ticket?
I found in my posts, and I've seen in some others, that the old posts with text inside the < > read it as HTML and anything in there disappears. However, all it took with my posts was to go into the edit mode, and save "changes" that aren't really changes - I think it just reads it as text after that instead of code.
It's mostly an issue where someone chose to use the <> mode for thoughts, telepathy, or other versions of dialogue.

Wendy, One of the FAQ answers is: There are 2 ways that this can be configured on a per-forum basis. If HTML is On then you will see HTML is On and you can use normal HTML in your posts. If UBBCode is on you will see UBBCode is On. Does that help you narrow down where to look to make the change? Joy, Lynn

Lynn, what do you see? Or better yet, can you switch from "UBBCode" to "HTML"? Wendy, the default is "UBBCode" for all users except Admins and Moderators. The reason Colleen was able to "save those changes" is probably just a result of being able to use only UBBCode.

Also, does this mean a limit to 10 quotes per FDK thread? Long winded, rambling FDKers want to know. Going back to another issue. While perusing the boards a minute ago on my iPhone (where I'm not logged in), I noticed Colleen had posted a response to our FDK. I went to check it out only to get a "DENIAL, please register" notification. It seems the Gfic "Superman in Other Canon FanFic" forum is acting like a Nfic forum and not letting people in who aren't registered. Do you want me to ticket this?

Hmm. I wonder whether it's that it won't fix in retrospect? On that, I know that Annette plans to make a read-only copy of the old boards available, so that - though it would be time-consuming - would be a way to fix those posts. Re. 10 quotes, I don't know whether more quotes consumes more resources, which is why I'm reluctant to increase it further - seriously, though, is 10 not enough?  I have no idea why guests weren't able to read topics in that forum, as it was definitely set to allow guests to read. I tested it and got exactly the same problem as your friend reported. However, I saved the required option (allowing guests to read) again, and this time it seems to have done the trick - at least, it worked for me on my non-logged-in browser. So no need to submit a ticket. Wendy BINGO!!! And the star of the day is LadyLoisette!

I guess it's been a while since you've received some Darth Michael FDK. Is there a Greamlin limit on the new boards as well? It was set to 15 on the old boards, last we noticed.

I just happened to leave FDK for Anti-K's latest story with 11 quotes ...right before the limit of 10 was installed. Anyway...I'm still having the same issues with my old posts. Some seem fine, some are missing things, and some are shrunken down to not much of anything. The ones that are missing things--the stuff that is missing doesn't follow a certain pattern or anything--some things gone at the beginning of the post, others have the posts shortened so only the last half of a response is there...and it's not just certain quoted areas taken out of the posts. It's essentially a whole section of a post--the beginning/the middle/or the end--with the quotes and my FDK. The strangest one is in the most current FDK thread to "The Wedding"--I know that I only posted maybe (at most one or two) quotes in that particular FDK. It was more of a discussion and I had typed up multiple paragraphs...Now, since the update, that FDK only shows the first line or two of the first paragraph and nothing else. So this example--at least--isn't b/c of too many quotes. I did tell LabRat about it this morning and she put a ticket in for my acct. Hmmm... Thanks for all the effort everyone--really appreciate it Laura

I've talked with Annette about this. Bottom line, data that's missing is missing, unfortunately. There isn't anything we can do to make it reappear However, at some point we may be able to make a read-only version of the old boards available, so you can copy and paste stuff over. I also asked about the quote limit. Quotes do take up additional space in the database, so the higher the quote limit the more space an individual post takes - which slows things down as well. Our suggestion is that if you really feel the need to quote more text then make a second comment post Wendy I just happened to leave FDK for Anti-K's latest story with 11 quotes ...right before the limit of 10 was installed.

10 quotes it is, and 10 quotes it will stay. Space/bandwidth issues, potentially. Graemlins: I haven't seen where that limit is on the control panel, though I know it has to be somewhere. However, have you tested it? Wendy Re. 10 quotes, I don't know whether more quotes consumes more resources, which is why I'm reluctant to increase it further - seriously, though, is 10 not enough?

...WHOA :jawdrop ...yeah. That will be changed. In the meantime, I'd recommend not going overboard on graemlins in posts, because once the limit is set (most likely 15), your excess graemlins will disappear.  Wendy

Do we have an option to add any graemlins? I have a few (some from other-fandom forums) that I'd love to have here so I don't have to impact the images limit.

New graemlins have to be imported and coded. Maybe you could ask Annette if there's space in the allotment to add others, but I'd strongly recommend waiting at least a few weeks - she has a lot on her plate right now because of all the issues she's working on fixing.
