Posts over 65535 bytes get cut off at 65535 bytes. If that makes the BBcode invalid in certain ways, then you get the INVALID BBCODE error.

Also, note that a byte is different from a character. Because SMF stores "special" characters in a particularly space-inefficient way, each Russian character uses about 6 bytes, and each line break also uses 6 bytes.

AFAIK it's 64,000 characters. I tested it recently and it hasn't changed.

One more question. On this 64k characters, are there counting tags char. also? like [color=black ... /color]
(Again) AFAIK yes, each and every character you use in the post's / topic's textbox is counted towards the 64K limit.

I'm pretty sure there is.
I've managed the known alts thread for mexxer before everything was handed over to Lauda
and we've reached a point where the BBCode was just too big for a single post.

Is there any limitations on post length or a number of characters per one post?
I got the very weird problem when i try to make the longest post. Seems like that i have code error, but i am checked more time and everything is okay.
thanks
Not that I'm aware of.
Not sure of bitcointalk but generally BBCode forums  have admin settings for limiting the post characters or keeping it unlimited.I'm roughly guessing it is set to the later on bitcointalk.
I tried making a really long post and it worked fine.What code error do you see on the page ?
