Were trade descriptions shortened?
I previously had a lengthy description for a popular trade of mine, but today I noticed that it was shortened to about 1/10th of its length. Is this some sort of error, will it come back, or have trade descriptions been permanently shortened?

Let's hope they have been shortened. All those long descriptions were just stupid and in the way.

With me i cant edit my notes , my trade has my old notes and when i click to edit it it shows my current notes but when i click save it goes back to the old notes .

that is probably due to the 2 databases not being in sync again. usually that resolves itself when the site load reduces

At first I thought I had lost my notes but when I clicked the edit button everything was still saved in the edit field. It seems that the description cuts off after the first link I post.

BUMP - so can I lengthen my text field yet? Answer - No, but if I paste my old description into my trade then all the text is omitted after the first link and the desc becomes a list of all the links without spaces / indentation.
A crap move if it´s on purpose. Confirmation would be nice.

I also have it in all my offers, descriptions are not visible except 1st line -_-

It's not intentional. Can you please link me to one of the trades that got shortened?

Thanks.

After deleting couple first lines with [color] tags, the rest of description shows without any problems (and include color tag too).

This is the trade. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/9580848 The new description is at the beginning and I've pasted the old description in after it, only the first paragraph from the original description is visible though I have pasted the entire text. I don't have any odd html or computer-y internet stuff in the body of text I've added, so I honestly have no idea what is hiding it. Thanks for looking into this; I used to get contacted a few times a day with a few takers, and lately its just people who don't understand what I'm offering / adding me to ask for a picture of their balls. ;P

Thanks for fixing it. What was the problem anyway?
