Forum image or text limits?
Just wondering, is there a character limit or a limit on how many images I can post within a single post on this forums?

If there's a technical limit on character count, it's obscenely high and I've never seen anyone hit it.
As far as images, there is no hard rule on amount BUT please remember some users may still be on slow or unreliable Internet, or mobile browsers, or low-spec systems. Having too many images can make a page unusable for those users.
Can you describe what you're needing to accomplish?

From what I recall, posts have a limit of about 60,000 characters; it has been hit a small handful of times by Projects posts.

I'm working on a new tutorial. I remember some time ago I ran out of spoilers in the HF2 OP because there is some hidden limit on it per post. Was just wondering if I need to reserve multiple posts before I start because I don't know how many images I can use per post.

Just a complete wild guess, but is this possibly related to some manner of binary storage issue? According to this page on TV Tropes, a 16-bit binary number can be equivalent to as high as 65,535.wildweasel wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:03 amFrom what I recall, posts have a limit of about 60,000 characters; it has been hit a small handful of times by Projects posts.
