Our Picks character limit

[tonyv]

I had not used the Our Picks feature until only recently, because I thought the content had to be promoted to social media which I don't use that. As soon as I learned that I could promote content to Our Picks on my own forum I got excited, and I've already featured two topics in Our Picks. When I went to promote my third choice it wouldn't post. It said something about the character limit being 3000, and that the topic I was trying to post ~3200 characters. Why is there a character limit for promoted content? Is it a setting I can change in the ACP? If yes, where?

The idea is that you add a short piece to entice people to click. Copying the entire text doesn't give your audience a reason to click the link and contribute.

You can edit the text in the box before posting.

It also throws off the design of the Our Picks cards.  Usually I choose the first paragraph or teaser text

Is it possible that the teaser will set automatecly by a limit of 500 characters and at the bottom there is a "read more" button which linked the original topic. 

Just for the internal promotion.

This would be great to be able to set a character limit, so you don't have to do anything extra, and also to make sure the Our Picks boxes are all the same height. A Read More button also lets people know that there is more to read on the subject, some may think what they are reading is the complete entry. Great idea.

I only allow two lines of text that why the user has to click the topic in order to read it
