Resolved False character limit when posting on topic #129467 - says message can be max. 150 chars while I only try to post 43 chars

I think when I tried to post with enabled profanity filter it sent a package like this:
Thread number: ...
Title: (151 characters)
Text: (43 characters)

but the system saw that the title is too long and wrote that error.
 
I am still confused as to why it would check the thread title when a post is being made into an existing thread.
Best guess is just a weird bit of xenforo code.
 
I'd assume it may be due to posting checking or updating something with the page source or whatever, or just in general something which is grabbing the thread title as it posts, and then realizing something won't work?

I might be able to check better on PC but I'm not really familiar with Xenforo or the code language so...
Either way I'm on mobile at the moment so can't do much in any case.
 
@Bodark Hu Tao If possible, can you replace in that thread in the title the "enlightening" in the title with "enriching"? This is so that the title gets a bit shorter to possibly solve the problem that you have to disable the profanity filter to reply to your thread. The word enriching is a synonyme to enlightening and also a bit shorter so that may work.

Looks like you guys got this worked out. Yes, it was because the system was receiving more than 150 characters for the title when someone that had the profanity filter on tried to post. Glad you got it squared away.
 
I'm still wondering.
Why does the title matter for posting in the already existing thread?
Like, if for whatever reason (Like the profanity filter as was the case here) the title associated with the post were different from the actual thread title when someone were to post on a thread and it was within character limit, would it try to post that as its own thread?

I think the issue may be that somewhere in the code, it just looked at the thread name on the way to looking at the required post stuff, and then errored out there and so stopped?
That's my guess at least, not sure how it actually works...
