Editing a sale post - body text too long?

Trude

I'm just trying to update an amp sale thread by adding some photos to my original post, and formatting the text of an item that sold with strikethrough font.  It's not letting me save it, saying my post is 671 characters too long

This is the thread
https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/post/editdiscussion/167936

Any idea what's wrong?  I'd rather have all the relevant info in the initial post, rather than spread the updates over multiple replies.  I don't know where the "extra" 671 characters have come from!

The problem is your photos - OneDrive URLs are ridiculously long. Just post additional photos in the first comment you've added, and strikethrough the relevant bits. If necessary, shift a photo or two to a comment lower down.

Ah, pesky OneDrive! Thanks for the tip

You could also something like tinyurl.com that will shrink the url to a more sensible length. For example this thread becomes https://tinyurl.com/smfj99g
