Frustated with BL blogs

This is one of the few, rare times I actually had the motivation to write. Since this IS a blog and not other forum posting, it pisses me off that both BL and yahoo limit the amount I can write and I spend the time only to for this dumb ass message saying my post is too long. BL and Yahoo at one time were NOT imposing a limit as to how long or shrt a post we can write in our journal. WTF? So what? Its MY journal and no one has to read it, nor am I trying to impose long ass posts that are the regular forums. This is a main reason I dont bother blogging anymore. Since Im limited to a Galaxy Tab,which is cool, but trying to cut it so I can continue it in parts is almost impossible, because unlike a regular PC where its easy to use a mouse to cut a post and paste other parts to new posts, I cant highlight all thetext I want without the screen getting bigger or smaller, the screen rolls with my touching it, I finally said fuck it and gave up. I will have to use an email draft on my yahoo mail acct just to keep a copy of this fucking blog. Its been bugging me a long time, I just never said anything. I wish BL would let us have blogs as long or short as we like, the way it had ben before these damn upgrades.
 
Hm, that's odd. I thought that posts/blogs were limited to something like 10000 characters. Let me look into that for you.
 
Not back in 2005 and 2006 they werent, I think even 2007. I got copies I managed to print when I still had PC hooked up. Then one day after these damn upgrades, no more. I ended up losing my damn post except for a paragraph which sucks. Again, this is why I dont really blog anymore, as its more time consuming and for nothing. Sigh.
 
I was wondering why you haven't been around (I have missed reading your posts :()

TBH, I never knew that there was a limit. Well, yes I did (jamshyd and rachamim reference it in their Blogs on occasion). What is the character count limit anyway?

Since the upgrade I have been a bit confused on some things and have been too lazy to go to the vBulletin web site.

That really sucks, TJ. I like your entries a lot (especially the pseudo 'naughty' ones ;) )

<sigh>
 
Why don't you try blogger or something like that? I'm sure they have unlimited? Then post an excerpt here or something?
 
I have been a member since late 2000 and BL has always had a character limit. I used to rag about it my BL Journal years ago (still do sometimes in my BL Blog). Simply spread your entry into how many parts you need.
 
Yeah, there is a limit, but it's big-ish. What I've done in the past is split the post up, and continued as comments. Or you can do like rach and split it as 'episodes' across several posts. A sort of serialization, it's kind of fun really.

There's not really a whole lot that can be done about the limit though, as it's built into the board software. Sorry.
 
I like how you did it previously, Dave. You made your entry and then made comments that said 'RESERVED' in order to save a spot so your entry was more linear. This seemed to be effective when you intended to come back and finish typing later.

Sheer brilliance!
