I updated this setting, and a couple other occurences of `max_post_length` in the code, and then restarted the container, but I am still getting the error message:

> Body is limited to 32000 characters; you entered 148069.

Am I doing something wrong?  
Do I need to restart docker or something? Nope, that didn’t work.
