Having not heard any news after submitting a couple of reports about errors saving changes to the TEA thread's OP, I didn't some debugging on my own and discovered that the post reaches its size limit in 51 more characters. ![Shocked :o](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
ez24 ran into the same OP size issues here:

Wisely he started another thread and reserved the first 3 posts so to allow room for growth.
Maybe you can link to a later reply of yours and place additional info there.....oh hang on, you already have the 2nd post to grow into. ![Clapping :clap:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/clap.gif)
Yep, have a little room to grow. Never ran into the post length limit before.
Yep but that's not to say one of the mods can't help, I dunno.
Wonder if it's possible to insert another blank post for you or might that break the forum linking ? ![Confused :-//](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/confused0024.gif)
I was working with ez24 when that problem came up.
Originally, the post limit was 20kB, but Dave upped it to 50kB for the resources thread. Then, as the content grew beyond that, I made the suggestion he start a new thread and reserve the first few posts for future expansion. The spreadsheet I put together to help organise the data and generate the code was changed to break up the output so it could be pasted across 3 tables.
In that case, the new thread made sense as the only thing that was "lost" were the posts that provided the input up until that point. Those posts are still available in the original thread, archived as it were.
However, such an approach would not work too well for this thread as value content lies all through it.
Adding a new post at the beginning would, in theory, be possible - BUT the potential for stuffing things up would be extremely high, unless you had someone with intimate knowledge of the database architecture. This is
not something I would advocate.
My suggestion would be:
1. to continue with the second post while there is room and
2. consider breaking out any of the material that has the potential to demand more and more bytes into a separate thread, where the first 10 or 20 posts have been reserved for expansion. Of course, any such material would have high visibility, descriptive links in the current locations so people could jump there within minimum effort.
