Is anyone else having this problem tonight? I'm trying to add sets and
it says I'm below the 255 character limit but when I go to the next screen
I'm told I'm exceeding it.

Some chars are transcoded up to 6 chars...

So, avoid accents éàèöù and symbols like / \ or inferior superior, etc.

And leave you room, like better count on 240 than 255.

Make tests, and avoid the more non-alphanumeric ones.

Ooooooh... That's really interesting, that's got almost certainly the
problem because I had a joke in quotes and had parentheses. Will try again,
thank you.
