Forum post length – character limit?

There seems to be a character or word limit for the posts on the forum that i’ve installed. When it gets to a certain length, posting attempts or editing attempts do not process and simply refresh the page. I could not find an option within the settings to increase this limit – is it possible to do this? And if so, how so?

Thank you.

I dont think that you reach a maximum length because for a LONGTEXT this would be 4 GB of text:

Does this problem occur when you use certain emoticons inside your post? In this case it could be a database configuration error which you have to fix on your database server to add support for UTF8 emoticons:

Thank you for the reply – you are correct, it is something wrong with the text I am submitting. For some reason, the phrase ‘data: ‘ within the text is causing the error…
