"Your PM is too big, trim it down please and try again." So I got this notice when trying to reply to a Basil mail for an auction. I tried to send my standard Basil mail in regards to my auctions. The length of the Basil mail was never a problem before. Is this a glitch? Did MrBasil change the limits on Basil mail? If the limit was changed, what is the new limit? I really hope this change isn't permanent. I don't want to have to do a major cut to my standards to fit the standards of the average(under-average intelligence) Basiler..... Edit: I removed like two small sections from my Basil mail and got it to send. I didn't bother with trying to figure out exactly how much I had to cut because that would take too much time. I decided on removing smaller sections that may not apply to me anymore based on ever changing circumstances. Also, be warned that the system auto deletes the entire Pm instead of giving you a warning as Etokapa stated. This did happen to me but wasn't as big of an issue since I am prepared.

Wow, that would certainly be a stupid rule if this is true...

I wish the replies in PMs came out as quotes instead of regular text. And I wish that if your message was too big, it would warn you and not delete all your text.

Sounds like a glitch. Did u try and resend it without changing it?

When did the reply change the senders post from quotes to just regular text? This totally threw me off. I had to remove the other Basilers post from my Pm in order to make room for my reply.... Basil does need a warning system instead of auto deleting everything you typed... artsykim said: "Sounds like a glitch. Did u try and resend it without changing it?" Yes, I tried to resend it like two times. I shortened my post like a few times, by removing the other Basiler's Pm and shortening my own Pm. I eventually just took out some less needed sections and finally got it to send. A small chunk in comparison but still a pretty good amount of text I took out so that I wouldn't have to be flustered anymore.

It's definitely a rule now. Me and Jake tested it. (my test may have been less appropriate, and testing multiple things) Also, I don't know if it counts what other people said in the limit.
