tonyv Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted January 17, 2019 Management Share Posted January 17, 2019 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. tonyv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It also throws off the design of the Our Picks cards. Usually I choose the first paragraph or teaser text tonyv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythonPonty Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 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. SC36DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dean_ Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I only allow two lines of text that why the user has to click the topic in order to read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
