Reading Re^10: XS.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xc100000, needed 0xc180000) I was encouraged to confirm what rgren925 reported. I constructed a reply with about 120kB in it and used the Preview button to check it. All of it was rendered and there was no warning (that I could see) that it was over the size limit for posting. When it was subsequently submitted it still rendered fine and it was only on a further navigation to the same node that it did truncate to ~64kB as I expected.
This is not great from a UX perspective. The preview should either warn about the size or truncate it like the final submission would do or (ideally IMHO) both. The full text could still be retained in the textarea for ease of editing.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
