File Descriptions Longer than 255 Characters?

[lilmetal]

Just a question regarding the "Small description" 255 character limit on file uploads.

I've seen some uploads with much more characters than this.

Is there an exception to this limit?

 

I'm compiling patches on my mod page for various plugins, and since I can't set the Requirements on a per-file basis, I have to list and link all the requirements in the description each time.

That itself isn't a problem, but when there's a 255 character limit, it's impossible to actually add links to the required files, because the URL BBCODE takes most of the allotment.

 

Wondering what my options are here.

I want to make sure I'm crediting all authors, and linking all requirements, so everyone gets the information they need.

 

Thanks in advance.
