I'd like to continue with keeping it up (or even pass on the job to someone else - doesn't matter to me) as I feel that it's a useful thread for all FT'ers & Mileage Runners - but I'm just at a loss as how to do it. Any ideas or suggestions?
This problem seems to have been addressed as part of the constant fine tuning of the new board. ^
I asked
Randy last week if he might consider approving the maximum amount of characters a post to be 15000 or even 20000.
I was trying to update a "sticky" thread on the UA board about upgrades and UA fare classes which was abut 13,500 character long already:

When I went to update it the new software refused to let me alter it. Anyway, Randy seems to recognise these longer posts cannot be broken into 2 if the thread is already 8 pages long, and approved the longer character limit and I was then able to edit it as required.
Hope
bhatnasx is able to update his long thread in the same manner. and any other members who likewise have long 'how to' or similar type threads that need regular updating.
Thanks to
Randy and the techies for taking the time to look into this question. :-:
Hope one of the next things on the 'possible upgrade list to be considered' is being able to direct email to whom we wish to members whose email addresses are showing. That IMHO is a huge weakness of the new FT.
