Can't post long source code to forum.

English Programming/Scripting
1

Hello Guys;

I just got done porting a Freebasic Windows program to FreeBasic Linux.

I tried to post the source code for my “Five Deck Maverick” program and the forum won’t allow more than 15,000 characters of post.
The old FreeBASIC forum did the same thing you had to break your code into 4 or 5 different posts, but they fixed it so you can post unlimited sizes of source code now…
Errors The following errors occurred with your submission

  • The text that you have entered is too long (33637 characters). Please shorten it to 15000 characters long.

Lengthy output/code should be posted to https://paste.opensuse.org/ instead. Choose a suitable ‘Delete After’ period and post the URL that it generates here.

As I mentioned elsewhere, if you want to share source code, the best
option is to set up a github account and share it there - that way as you
change it, the change history is available to anyone who wants to review
it.

Thank you!

I’ll post my source and binaries to sourceforge and just put the links in the forum.

I don’t release alpha or beta ware , all my programs are completely debugged and bug free and operable , before i share them.
I only come out with new releases , if i get and idea to expand a program or change the functionality of a program.

Yes, that’s a good suggestion, and it will provide a wider reach as well, rather than just limited to openSUSE Forum users.

That’s fine, plenty of people do things different ways. Github is just a
great place to host code, and definitely something you should check into
if you want to get into doing more serious development work. :slight_smile:
