When I try to update the SoYouWantTo.Write A Western RPG, the connection resets after a minute or two of trying, without saving anything. Does this mean that the page text is too big? For clarification, I am actually trying to remove some obsolete lines from it, and it still won't let me save it.

I don't have any such problems on other, smaller pages.

351463 characters, so I'd say it's a different problem.

[up] 351463 is the limit or the size of that page? Because it only measures 160k on my hard drive.

It's the character count at the bottom of the page. All discussions about page size are about that number.

I don't seem to be having this problem. I think it's something on your end

Saw your edit, Hylarn, but I'm still getting the same timeout even if I don't change the page at all before resubmitting. :-/ I wonder what it could be...

EDIT: Huh, it's weird but it has somehow gotten over that save on the third attempt and now it's loading as normal. No idea what was going on there.

Locking as no longer being an issue.
