How many characters are allowed per event?
Please forgive me for being somewhat computer illeterate, but when I post an item into the calendar it does not always show up...for example, if I post a list of items with 15 to 20 lines (which used to post with no problem), it currently will not allow it to be posted. I am aware that before the editor would only allow so many characters. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Off the top of my head, I know that at least 2000 characters are accepted. Would you mind posting your "big" description here so that we can test with it?

Re: How many characters are allowed per event?
I pasted that description into both a public and private event, and the entire field was accepted and displayed. Is there a particular event/date on your calendar where you did the same and it didn't work? It might be useful for me to check it out on your calendar.
