Error "Maximum length 8000 characters" when posting issue on this forum

Question

I'm constantly getting an error "Maximum length 8000 characters" when trying to post to this forum, for a post that is definitely less than that...
Moreover, the cookies bar keeps popping up every single time, when I have dismissed it with my preferences (no §@#!% cookies !!!)

Concerning the 8000 chars limit problem: That was when I included screenshots as inline images in the post. Maybe that is (erroneously) counted towards "message length"?
I was confused, because even when I replaced the inline images with URLs to a drop site, the error remained. However, when I recreated the post from scratch with only the URLs (https://forum.plantuml.net/19206/2024-regression-combination-color-back-shows-text-anymore), I could submit it. So maybe the pasted inline images stayed "in cache" in the session somewhere even after I removed them?

About the cookies bar, can you tell us more about your config?

Are you using any ad blocker?

Thanks

Can you also try using "incognito" mode ?
