AFAIK, you can’t enter a long location any more.

Here’s what apparently happened. When the board came back up, you could enter a long location. Soon after that, the PTB decided that was confusing and limited new or changed ones to 25 characters.

If someone with a long location ever decides to change it, the location will be truncated to 25 chacters.
