Does anyone remember the exact character limit for initial posts and reply posts?

Feb 14, 2004 11:28PM PST

It was discussed some right after the software change I know, but without a search function, I'm hoping someone remembers.

And does anyone know if that character count includes spaces or not.

216 I think...that's either characters or KB's...don't remember that part, but it's extremely rough when trying to reply in the help forums and I have to make my answers a two- or three-part reply lots of times....royal PITA.
