I propose we formally declare war on this 30 character limit.
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Discourse Forum, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of the 30-character limit, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of SandFam-every person of them. The users of this forum thread, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their character limit, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of this Forum and many old and famous SandFam have fallen or may fall into the grip of the 30-character limit and all the odious apparatus of the 30-character rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the Announcement section, we shall fight in the General section, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the Help & Improvement section, and we shall defend our forum replies, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the SIP: Ideas section; we shall fight in the SIP: Active section, we shall fight in the SIP: Implementation section, we shall fight in the SIP: Finished section; we shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, our X Spaces or a large part of it were subjugated to the 30-character limit, then our Discord beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Sandbox Moderators, would carry on the struggle! Until in God’s good time, the DAO Admin Team, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Forum!
Alright, @Lanzer@DAO and whoever else is sick of the 30-character limit…
It turns out, neither Gerladine nor I can identify a way to change the setting on the backend.
The next step would be to go to https://meta.discourse.org/ and search for an answer and/or ask on their forums, but I just do not have the bandwidth for this this week (as I’m still catching up from GDC and a week of reduced hours).
Jkjk, removing the 30 character limit is of the lowest importance so don’t fret over it.
(did i type this to hit the 30 character limit? or did I mean it? You’ll never know.. )
If you volunteer as delegate tribute and I volunteer as normal SandFam tribute, I think it will satisfy the 30-character-limit gods and become a full tribute!
I should have noted that the layout was changed in the past few months (maybe UX updates?), so comments from that far back might not be as relevant now.
We certainly looked everywhere in the Admin settings.
