UPDATE:
Please note, as of 26th April 2021, D2L Brightspace implemented a change in the 
word limit in discussions. Discussions within eLC now have a maximum word limit 
of content up to 64kb (about 64000 characters or roughly 179 pages of text) per 
post. Any images added to a post count towards the 64kb limit.
