Market: too long description (character count 10,000/32,000)

New comment
 

I keep getting an error that my description is too long (too long description)

But the character count is about 10,000 out of 32,000 allowed in visual mode.  The text I wanted to add might have increased it to 11,000-12,000 characters



It reverts to the last saved draft with this text.   But one time I saw my draft wiped out with this error message.   So now I just frequently save the changes to make sure they are accepted.

Does the character count consider HTML code? HTML significantly adds to the character count.

As far as I am aware, it is even worse than counting html tags. It's a byte limit, so if you happen to use a wide character set, your count doubles, as the function seems to only check the actual byte size.

Create a dedicated blog post for instructions and other extra information. Then in the product description provide a link to the blog post.

Many sellers do that for providing User Manuals, Instructions on how to install products, Instructions on how to to optimisations, etc.

 

Ok.  Looks like blog posts are not listed in the user profile or settings page.  If it is, please give a screenshot showing where I would know how to create a blog post from the user's profile.

I had to do a google search, which led me here:  https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs
