Related: About this forumIs there a character limit to posts?
I am working on some ideas for posts but They would end up being very large. I can make them up outside of DU and then cut-and-paste them in, in chunks as replies to an OP but it would be good if I knew a character limit. Thanks

exceeds the limit.
I've encountered posts where the body of the text has been extremely long so I don't believe there is a limit.

Its due to copyright restrictions.

(36,209 posts)4. I understand they asked about characters. The four paragraph limit
Is related to length. They asked if there is a length limitation.

writing.

(36,209 posts)6. I don't know why you are taking issue. The OP
May not be aware of length (or if you prefer, character) limitations on this site for SOME types of posts. They didnt specify the content of their posts as excluding quoted material.
