The character limit for forums and blogs is 50,000, is there a way to raise this?

$description = new Textarea('description');
$description->setRequired(true);
$sValidator = new StringValidator(1, 50000);
$sValidator->setErrorMessage($language->text('forum', 'chars_limit_exceeded', array('limit' => 50000)));
$description->addValidator($sValidator);
I think its the above you edit for forum which you can find in if you ftp to ow_plugins/forum /controllers/customize.php
just be careful abbs I could be wrong

Hi Abbey, I just did a quick calculation and 50,000 characters is equivalent to ten (10) A4 or twelve (12) (approx) American Letter pages of text. For a forum post I'm sure most readers would consider that far too much. It may be okay for Blogs, but what do you do? Go to a lot of trouble to give a few people an extra page or two, or encourage them to write less? I would consider a forum post of three or four paragraphs is sufficient. After that, they can always attach a PDF or other document. The same goes for Blogs.
Just a thought.

Yeah, I don't know why my users are complaining.
Apparently the blogs has the same limit

Solution was given for previous version of Oxwall, but might work with 1.7 and 1.6 as well. Needs to be tested.
