Hello. I'm an admin/mod on another forum, and to help our members with finding the most important info, we have stickied Index threads. We used to be able to put as many links as we needed into 1 post, which was just fine for some of our lists of 30-50+ threads. However, I found that recently when I tried to modify and update some of these old threads, forumco now tells me I will be banned if I succeed in posting anything with more than 20links in 1 post. 20 links is definitely not adequate for our purposes, and splitting up the list of links really decreases the clarity of organization.
I understand this is a measure against spam, but we have a highly regulated, modded, and organized board, and as an admin and mod, I would expect that I could at least have the option of posting more than 20 links, even if the regular members do not. Would it be possible to revert this back or make it an option for max links per post in the admin options for each board?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I just looked at the code. As an admin or mod you should not be getting this problem. It only affects normal members.
I'm not in favour of removing the feature or changing it as it has proved to be highly effective. |

| I understand you would like the keep the feature as is, but there seems to be something that may not be working as intended that happened recently, whether it's on my end or something specific to my forum (northstar)? I am only ever logged in on my account where I'm admin and mod there, so I'm really not sure what is wrong. It also recognizes me as a mod, since I'm editting and adding to locked threads with no problem. Even if I log in extra to the admin options panel (I'm not sure if that's intended, to have to log in again to access admin options even when I'm already signed into the forum), then browse over to the thread, I still cannot post more than 20 links. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated! |

My account there is also Ascidiella.
This is one of the threads I was trying to update... if you notice in the last two posts, I've had to split up 2008 to stay under the 20 links limit.
You must be logged in to see this link.
We have several of these index threads, in Marks, Round Table, and Navigators of Dawn sections, if you wanted to see any other examples.
Thank you for your quick response, and please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that you would find helpful. |
