1. Didn't know there was a restriction on that, but I don't think there should be a limit.
2. What are SVG images?

Re: Few suggestions
I dont think this is our fault... i think these restrictions are from phpbb3.0, which if i'm right is something we cant actually change right now.
if it IS something we can control, i can't find where to change the settings, so we're stuck this way for now i'm afraid.

- The URL limit is there to prevent spam attacks by limiting the amount of hyperlinks per post.
- SVG support is something that would be worked into the phpBB software and not something we're personally not supporting.

Re: Few suggestions
Would it be possible to increase it slightly to five URLs per post? If a person was really comitted to SPAM, the difference between three and five URLs per post would not make much of a difference.

Re: Few suggestions
I kinda agree with Pikachu9000.
The limit shouldn't be so few;
besides, spammers could just make post after post with urls,
so it wouldn't really make much of a difference.
Those types of spammers would most likely be bots, too.
Increasing it to five wouldn't really change much.
That's my two cents, anyway.

Re: Few suggestions
Agreed, and I don't think we have seen any SPAMbots ever since the switch to phpBB3. I think it's safe to say this board has been spammer free for quite a while and increasing it to five would not hurt the board at all. Plus if it was a spammer posting 3 URL per post compared to 5 URL per post, deleting more posts would just mean more effort for the mods.
