I'm not sure if it's just my computer being a butt or what, but for some reason the second chapter to my story will only upload so far before it just stops. Only so much of it will show up.

Maybe my computer is just not showing it all, or maybe all of it isn't downloading. Everything else seems to be working fine though, and the chapters to my one other story is going along just fine, but this one is being a real ass.

Someone tell me what's up with this!

There is a limit of 65535 characters per chapter.

What should I set the limit to? 100,000?

It's not that i've reached the character limit. Nowhere near that many letters is on there. There's maybe a couple hundred that show up and thats it.

Check that you don't have a < (less than) sign in the story. This will be taken for an unknown HTML code, and gets stripped.

If you're not sure, let me know all the details by e-mail (support@openscrolls.net), and attach what you're trying to upload, and I'll see what's up.

I think i've found the problem. Thanks Rob, you're a lifesaver.

(of course not to be taken too literally. Wink )

Oh, OK Smile Glad to have helped.

If it was a < sign, you can add this back in once it's been uploaded. It then gets translated to &gt; which is HTML code for the same thing when typed, but when uploaded it assumed it's HTML and takes it out.

A bit complex, but a lot of this type of conversion happens in the background - it's an uneccesary evil.

Heh, not too complex if you take the time to read it slowly and try to understand it. But if your technologically illiterate (like my step-father) it's all crap and clear as mud.

Makes me happy I took a computer course in school.
