  1. Have the ability to have more than 3 URLs in one post. I tried to edit my site FAQ but it won't let me, the URLs there are helpful.
  2. The ability to post SVG images, SVG images are getting increasingly popular and are quite frequently.

1. Didn't know there was a restriction on that, but I don't think there should be a limit.

2. What are SVG images?

I dont think this is our fault... i think these restrictions are from phpbb3.0, which if i'm right is something we cant actually change right now.

if it IS something we can control, i can't find where to change the settings, so we're stuck this way for now i'm afraid.

  1. The URL limit is there to prevent spam attacks by limiting the amount of hyperlinks per post.
  2. SVG support is something that would be worked into the phpBB software and not something we're personally not supporting.

Would it be possible to increase it slightly to five URLs per post? If a person was really comitted to SPAM, the difference between three and five URLs per post would not make much of a difference.

I kinda agree with Pikachu9000.
The limit shouldn't be so few;
besides, spammers could just make post after post with urls,
so it wouldn't really make much of a difference.
Those types of spammers would most likely be bots, too.
Increasing it to five wouldn't really change much.
That's my two cents, anyway.

Agreed, and I don't think we have seen any SPAMbots ever since the switch to phpBB3. I think it's safe to say this board has been spammer free for quite a while and increasing it to five would not hurt the board at all. Plus if it was a spammer posting 3 URL per post compared to 5 URL per post, deleting more posts would just mean more effort for the mods.

The maximum number of links per post has been upped to a more accommodating amount.
