There are many people here on Renderosity who are writing stories and illustrating those stories with images. A lot of that has been happening in the individual galleries (for example, someone posts a Poser image with a short chapter in a continuing story), and we have a Writer's Gallery that has, in the past, been set up for longer works.

1000 characters is insufficient in both cases.

It sort of goes without saying that the Writer's Gallery character limit needs to be bumped back up to where it was before. I'm sure having a 1000 character limit in that gallery was just an oversight. (Before the big change this week, the Writer's Gallery had a larger word limit with smaller image parameters. I think the image size limit was 800x800, most recently.)

As far as the limit in the other galleries goes, I'd like to see it raised. People often have a lot to say about their images. Describing the subject of a photograph or providing credits for a 3D piece can use up a lot of keystrokes.

The old limit was ... what ... 4500? Whatever the character length, it was about 750 words. (Trust me on this ... I posted a story in the photography gallery for Chip's birthday once, and I know exactly how much I had to cut it to fit!)

Text doesn't take up a lot of kb space. Can we please have it back?

Thanks for checking ...
