URL to your eFiction: http://fannation.shades-of-moonlight.com/archive/viewstory.php?sid=1398
Version of eFiction: 3.4.3
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: Not Bridged
Version of PHP: 5
Version of MySQL: 5.0.16
Have you searched for your problem:yes
If so, what terms did you try: whole story, story cut
State the nature of your problem:

One of my users notified me that no matter what they do their latest story keeps cutting off parts of the story. I, myself, has not encountered this problem and I have yet to hear from another user experiencing this. The user in question has already successfully posted over 90 stories so far without prior incident, both longer (many of which are both 10 and 20 thousand words long) and shorter ones.

What makes no sense to me is that:
1) All story texts are saved as documents, not in the database, so there are no word limits.
2) The part of the story that lets itself be saved is less than1000 words, practically nothing. First try saved about 300 words, second try and evey try since saves only about 700 words.
3) The user copy/pastes the text, so it is not a file-uploader error.

Frankly I am at my wits end at what this could be. Has anyone else here experienced this problem? Was there a solution, a bug that can be fixed?

Do you have a test account for us? Not sure if it's necessary since the problem seems to only happen to one user, not the whole lot.

I've experienced this problem in the past when there were errant < or > in the text.  Make sure that any HTML tags are in there properly?

Thanks for the tip, I will ask the user if that could be a problem πŸ™‚

Or she's hitting a forbidden word.  It's usually curl.
