I realize there are a million places to make a blog so it may not make sense but was curious if there were any plans to incorporate user blogs into the forum at some point in the future.

- Thread starter MindThreat
- Start date
If you're interested in a blog I think the personal profile posts are a good starting point! That being said, if you try it out and have requests please let us know. Many suggests are read by the board of directors so we can discuss them and see our options
Oh wait, no. I forgot. The profile posts aren’t really blog appropriate, I tried a few times but it’s limited to like 150 characters or something really short. It’s more tweet like than blog like. So you can’t really go into extensive detail.
Got it, I'll bring it up with the other board members and see if there's room to adjust the character limit.
This has been updated from 420 (ayeee) to 30,000 characters. Can you let me know if this update alone makes profile posts more viable for blogging?
Turns out none of the posts are public, meaning someone has to be a member and logged in first to see it.
I can see the benefit of requiring members to login to see it but having these specific type of posts public and searchable may also aid in bringing people to the site overall.
Got it, thanks for checking it out and letting us know. I'll see if this is an option that can be changed.
Hey @MindThreat, I think our fearless Xenforo master @fogWraith fixed this. Would you like to test it out and confirm?
