I am trying to post a question and include as much information as I can, but my topic has 13,000 characters and the limit is 7,000.
So how do I include the pertinent information with such a small character limit?
Regards
Ken

Create a new topic, then just add a few posts below with the continuation.
13000 feels like a _lot_ of words, and I've found breaking things up makes it easier to consume.

I had a feeling that's what I would have to do - and yes, 13k is rather lengthy. The ruby error itself is over 9k characters itself.
Thanks for the advice.
Cheers

With errors that big it might also be worth using gist/pastebin/etc for that aspect, and just link in the topic.
