Is this a return to an earlier policy? Accidental reversion to earlier code?
Am I just too promiscuous with my hearts?

@orenwolf can elaborate but yes. The large like limit we previously enjoyed was breaking things so yes it is a much smaller number now.

I’m curious what it was breaking. I’m also wondering about the removal of background images on “user cards”. Is this really a technical limitation?

Something with the database which I would believe him on. This is Discourse’s biggest instance so we tend to stress test things.
I was wondering about the usercards and profile backgrounds as well.
Hey @orenwolf can we get a better technical explaination here please?

I still have my user card elsewhere, but lost it here around the time we started losing images, so I assumed it was related and maybe just not fixed yet.
Edited to add: when I go to edit my profile, it shows my user card image is still there, it just doesn’t show up on my profile. Which is odd… but I don’t program so I can’t explain it.

I love that orb but I would take a sobering 10°F over a lobotomizing ninety-whatever-the-fuck°F it is right now where I am.
You Pacific Northwesterners, of course, almost never deal with either (nor, for that matter, the shiny glow orb itself about sixty percent of the year).
