< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 325 OF 457 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-14-22    Chessical: <There seems to be a new maximum size for comments, bios, collections, etc... >. May I suggest that it might have been a good idea to have a consultation before making a radical change to architecture of the site? It would be very disappointing if games collections and bios are to be arbitrarily cut short. They are not in the same category as comments. I believe that well researched collections and bios are important contributions to the uniqueness and appeal of this site. If we are going to end up with a Twitter like regime then we will lose so much (and too much for me). Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: Why assume the change is deliberate? Sep-14-22    Chessical: <Why assume the change is deliberate?> Because it seemed so very unlikely that it was inadvertent. Restricting the size of contributions is a fundamental revision to the operation of this site. Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: <Thanks for the help. I believe it's due to a rule(SizeRestrictions_BODY) in a rule group(AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet) that's causing the issue. It currently has a maximum size of 8,192 bytes. Each character is approximately 1 byte. I will figure out the best way to resolve this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.> Does this sound like its deliberate? Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: <And also, why is this a new problem on cg.com?> I once raised the limit on one of the sql queries for the Player Directory to increase the amount of players listed, other than that, the script hasn't changed for as long as I've been here... afaik. Re <403 Forbidden> issue: <There seems to be a new maximum size for comments, bios, collections, etc... > I guess this was misleading, I should've said "There is a <temporary> maximum size for comments, bios, collections, etc..." Sorry for the inconvenience Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: <BTW- the beta has some nice improvements, but it really needs to use the "collation"-name format, like the original <Player Directory> does. You know> I agree, it was brought to my attention in the past also. I'll update it when I get the chance. Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: Still none the wiser. Just tell us when its sorted. Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: The <403 Forbidden> errors associated with the size of the content has been fixed. Let me know if you continue to experience any issues Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: I am. Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: <MissS> What are you trying to edit? Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: My GOTD pun indexes. Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: Please provide a link Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: Game Collection: Game of the Day pun Index (Torah-ZZ) Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: <MissS> Please try again. I originally set the limit to be slightly over the maximum allowed size(64,000 characters). I increased it a bit more so users will see the <ERROR: The introduction to this collection is over the 64K limit> message instead of the <403>. Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: No change. I'm using Firefox, by the way. Sep-14-22    stevemcd87: I raised the limit again, it should be more than enough now. If it doesn't work, it's being caused by something else. Perhaps try with Chrome also so we can determine if it has something to do with Firefox. Thanks for the help. Sorry for the inconvenience Sep-14-22    MissScarlett: Fixed now. Sep-14-22    WinKing: Thanks <stevemcd87>. I just made a quick change to my profile and it accepted it. Looks like your 'fix' worked. Will let you know if there are any further problems...hopefully not. Sep-15-22    gezafan: I notice George Wallace and Big Pawn haven't posted for while. How do you find out if they were banned? Is there a list someplace of banned members? Sep-15-22    chancho: <gezafan> this might shed some light into your inquiry: stevemcd87 chessforum (kibitz #1192) Sep-15-22    optimal play: <gezafan: I notice George Wallace and Big Pawn haven't posted for while. How do you find out if they were banned?> chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #39237) <Is there a list someplace of banned members?> Maybe Chessgames should post an official notice somewhere, like a death notice? Sep-15-22    Susan Freeman: <optional play> seriously? Sep-15-22    optimal play: <Susan Freeman: <optimal play> seriously?> No, I'm just being facetious. Sep-15-22    stone free or die: What a card!
