#9 Server Option: Maximum message size

[Anonymous]

The maximum message size limit of 500 characters gets
in the way of this program being useful. Example:

When I attempted to paste in an e-mail of technical
specifications I had received while chatting via Bird
Chat with a technical group, only the first 500
characters were transmitted.

It is not clear to me why this restriction is there.

If this restiction is there to prevent message flooding
by children participating in a social chat session,
then this should be an option in the server .ini file
whereby the server operator sets the maximum message
size allowed to control the crowd, and needs to be made
adjustable to a value larger than 500 characters when
Bird Chat is used in a professional environment by its
intended audience.

If this 500 character message size restriction is there
for technical reasons as a way of managing asynchronous
interprocess timings between client and server, the
Bird Chat programming team may find circular buffers to
be an interesting topic to explore. See:
