500 charater limit

[+paticpatic]

When I add a description to my caches, I sometimes run into the 500 character limit. I find many caches where the descriptions are much longer than 500 characters so how can I get by the limit?

Are you referring to the short description? The long description field is much longer.

Ok, I see it know, can't believe I didn't see it thanks.

The "long description" portion can take more than 500 characters. Only the "short description" is limited to 500 characters.

 

When creating your own geocache's listing you will see it says:

 

Long Description:

Use this space to get creative! You can tell a story, give information about your geocache or add pictures.

 

Also, sometimes people use some HTML coding which may take up some space to show an image or text in a different form so its not necessarily "text characters" but rather text that is featured on the page.
