Unable to submit article

I click submit, pops up an Error message. Not sure if it's a site issue or if there's a hidden word count cap I'm breaking?

I’m sorry it’s not working for you. Can you tell me the exact error message you see? We’ll get this figured out.

I waffled about posting in the forum, considering the message content, but I figured if others were having a similar issue then maybe a forum post is better. Apologies if I'm clogging things for ya.

Ah, now I see. You were right. The submit article page let you put in unlimited length, but the storage has a limit which was causing the error. I added the limit to the submit page so you shouldn't get the error again. However, you will need to shorten your article a little bit.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for letting us know.

Thank you! As a blind bat of a human, though, I'm not seeing the limit? Not sure how much to cut.

I didn't put the limit visually any where. I guess I was lazy. Computers think in characters and not words. The limit is around 64,000 characters. I think your article was originally around 66,000. The input box on the web page will just stop letting you type when you reach the limit. If you paste, it will simply truncate at the limit.
