Getting internal server error when editing existing showcase items/threads

Greets,

I'm trying to sort this out - is there some kind of size limitation for very long articles or such in Showcase? I expanded the tab1 input settings to 100000 (as well as XF's message settings) and there is no problem creating new items but whenever I try to edit said item, it throws an internal server error (data not available in XF error logs).

If I delete the body of text, the error goes away so that's why I'm guessing there is some kind of text limitation in editing mode that doesn't trigger upon creation of the original item.

What else can I tweak/check to further sort this out?

Thanks,
Ray

 

I decided on a whim to try it on a regular post and I got the same error, so please hold off on this... I'm going to dive deeper into this now that I've triggered it outside of Showcase... Will keep you posted.

 

Okay, I think I isolated it -- I was copying very long posts from an old forum I migrated from by going into the post editor of old post and copying it from there into the database. This time I straight copied it from the webpage rather than the editor and it worked so I'm guessing there's some hidden characters copied in the editor that breaks XF.

It is odd though it doesn't trigger upon creation of thread/item. Just upon editing.

Sorry about that!
Ray
