So I noticed that you literally cannot bump your own threads anymore, so if you just want to post a story that requires more space than 1 post is it just impossible to do now?
You can normally bump your own posts if you have Trust Level 3. There is a 99,000 character limit for posts, but if you run out of space, just post it on another character if you do not want to grind the last level.
Okay, thanks. I still do not understand trust levels or whatever, but I think 99,000 character limit is a big boost. If I recall correctly, it used to be more like 10,000.
No problem! It was even worse, it was 5,000 I think. xD I had a hard time posting stories with that. I was able to get 6 medium-sized stories in one post, plus a lot of me rambling in between, so you’re probably good. The Trust Levels are all explained here, though it takes some work. If you have any questions, just let me know. I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
