Ten Forward Authors--Migration incoming: backup and char length info here

Forum migration is now back on beginning on the 15th.
As you may be aware from the prior attempt, I discovered very strict character-per-post limits, far more severe than this current forum (appx 11-12k characters). I am still trying to find out if those limits are in place, and as soon as I have anything, I will let you know.
In either case, I strongly recommend authors and others maintaining resource guides, etc. ensure that they have ALL of their works backed up to a safe location in case something goes wrong.

EDIT: Someone else seems to have done a test today and so far no change. Trendy's post DOES state the functionality is there to make a change. I am trying to find out right now if that change is still inbound, or if there's troubleshooting that needs to be done instead.

I will recheck it over the weekend to see what happens.

While not every post is that length, fanfic authors and people who write player guides and other reference material do, as do people who are trying to quote and reply to multiple people in the same post. We have done just fine here with seemingly unlimited post character limits.

For some of our writers with longer sections, that will probably still prove a challenge, but I found I WAS able to make my posts fall along my natural section breaks instead of breaking up a scene. That might not always happen for me depending on section lengths, of course.
But as an example, I got this single post on the current forum done in three posts on the new:
http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=22725561&postcount=58
And one piece of definitely good news: OLD posts should NOT be truncated when they import, even if they well exceed the 24000 limit. I still strongly advise taking backup precautions, but that does at least help me feel more confident that the forum won't just blow up.
