Right, so... When I did in my last post here is called an exaggeration. You may have heard of it before, but if not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaggeration (Also a fair amount of sarcasm)
I was mere trying to express my annoyance that people seem to fail to see the point of this post. (I even included that bit about me being paranoid in the first post. Take a hint...)

@Sweetpea: Yes, I remember that one!

@eschwartz: I also use a password generator. That's why I can afford to use insanely long and unique passwords everywhere. It's just a shame that there are so many websites that handle long passwords very poorly. (This being one of them)

@Cinisajoy: There is no way for me to not shorten it, considering it being trimmed down caused me to being unable to log in in the first place. I did generate a new, exactly 50 character long, password, though.
Whatever the case, you are missing the point, though. I'm not looking for a solution to this problem. The solution is obvious: Use a shorter password.
I am also not concerned about the security. 50 characters is plenty, the MD5 issue is about as bad as t gets, anyway. (Might as well store them in plain text at this point)

No - this is in the Feedback subforum and I'm giving feedback about a bug I encountered on the website and hope that someone fixes it. It's not like this can be solved by removing 28 characters from some files or anything... oh, wait.
