  • MSG Size limit

    From BoonDock@VERT/GATOFUEG to All on Wed Feb 24 04:40:16 2021
    I've searched the docs and maybe I'm blind but I can't find it anywhere.
    I'd like to know what the size limit is on msgs on local boards?
    If there's no way of adjusting it, second option is to allow users to attach a text file to a message on one of the boards?

    Thanks

    Each security has its own message size limit (specified as "lines per message") in SCFG->System->Security Level Values.

    Have not implemented file attached to public messages (sub-board posts). It's usually considered trivial for a user to "ASCII upload" text into a message if they wish (and the Ctrl-Z enabled "raw input mode" makes this easy, or even easier, just start a ZMODEM upload into the internal line editor or fseditor.js).

    Ok. That's more than enough at the moment.

    It's usually considered trivial for a user to "ASCII upload" text into a message if they wish (and the Ctrl-Z enabled "raw input mode" makes this easy, or even easier, just start a ZMODEM upload into the internal line editor or fseditor.js).
    I tried that, iterating through Zmodem, raw and ascii. None worked properly, either beeping as the buffer overflowed or failng to transfer.
    I'm guessing I did something wrong

    Maybe you could describe exactly what you tried with what kind of file(s).
