In Profile Posts the usual limit you get is around 420 characters which yeah funny number but i would love to see this number increase a bit so that there would be extra room for more words

I agree that it's a weird number and it would be nice if it were increased, but it seems like this number is there for a reason. Facebook also limits status messages to 420 characters, so it would be a little weird if this were just a coincidence. While some more characters would be nice, it's not really something that needs to be changed in my opinion.
That seems correct to me. Additionally, images and files also work this way, which makes it super annoying to put a few images into a profile post (and nothing else) and have it say that it exceeds 420 characters.
If it could be increased easily and without problems, then that would be great. It's just that the oddness of the number suggests that it's like that for a reason.
Web Increase the character length from "420" to "500" Characters

Personally, I think it should be further increased to 1000 characters. I know this is an unpopular opinion, so please allow me to explain my reasoning.
I feel this way because, well, this is a Forums website after all, and the messages are naturally going to be longer than, for example, Discord messages, which are typically less developed and made quicker without as much thought put in.
Additionally, sometimes there’s things that I’d like to post on my status that I feel don’t warrant me making a thread for, because I don’t feel all of Cubecraft needs to know, just those that tend to read my status. But, as it stands, if I want to do that, I often have to annoyingly divide my status post by doing “(1/3)” or something of the sort.
Another reason why I think this should be extended is due to the use of hyperlinks. Now, I’m not 100% sure of what I’m about to say, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but what I’m about to say is something that I’ve noticed throughout my time here. One thing I noticed when making profile posts is that when I insert a hyperlink, it won’t count the characters of the hyperlink title, but instead the characters of the link itself.
This is very annoying, as links can be very long. By it being set up this way, it will take away many precious characters from your already (imo) quite small limit.
In conclusion, I do
with this suggestion, but I feel that it should actually be increased to 1000 characters instead of 500. I feel this way mainly due to this being a Forums website where long-form content is more common, because certain things I don’t feel warrant the creation of a thread, and because as it currently stands, hyperlinks will take up MANY characters.
P.S. Yes I did a shameless plug ;)
P.P.S. Sorry if I made this longer than it needed to be, I tend to do that xD.

You need to use the link button (I think you didn’t do it possibly) and use the image button for images which sometimes doesn’t work (on mobile you can put photos from your photos appPersonally, I think it should be further increased to 1000 characters.
