This question is for the powers that be that run this great site.
In April of 2012, I posted a review of about 40 zombie movies in the "Media" section of the board. I later expanded the post to include all types of horrors and thrillers.
By May, my post exceeded the size limit. I didn't receive any error message but realized this when I viewed the post and saw that it was truncated. So, I divided my original post into two posts (each containing half of the alphabet).
I have slowly continued to add reviews (I am up to 213 movies as of today) and I finally hit the size limit again. For today I fixed the problem by changing my first post to only hold A to L instead of A to M. But I have several more reviews to add to the M to Z post and I'm worried I will overflow that one, also. Do you all have any solutions you can offer?
I can stop adding to the posts but I do enjoy doing it and I think there are at least a few people who read the new reviews when I post them.
I could divide each post again into smaller alphabetic ranges. If we do that, I would ask that the new ones be stickied so that they appear together with the two current posts.
I could change the posts to just reflect the name of the movie and the rating (this would tremendously reduce the size of the posts) and provide a link to some other place containing the full reviews but I'm not sure where that would be. I don't have my own web site at this time.
Let me know what you think is the best solution. Thanks.
