Minimum Characters Per Thread Title

This hack helps to chosse the minimum nuber of characters when writing a new message. This hack needed why? Some members write messages with 2 characters which is not clear. So the user can write hello instead of hi for example. As the forum cultere is different from chat culture. If you have problems I will try to help you immediatelly.

Excellent. Just what I needed. I'm so tired of "help me" and "look at this" crap post titles. I want to know what's there before I have to click on it. Better SEO, too.

Looks to work on vB 3.7 and 3.8 both.

Thanks! :)

Yes, it works in 3.8.7.
And the option is in the "Message Posting and Editing" section, about halfway down.

I realize this is a slow reply, but it may help others. ;)

Chrome browser is somehow ignoring this mod now.

You have to edit the template in order to work in Chrome too.

Replace the minimum_characters template with following

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validatemessage(messagetext, subjecttext, minchars)
{
var kontrol = PHP.trim(stripcode(subjecttext, false, ignorequotechars));

if (subjecttext.length < $vboptions[mincharters])
{
// subject not specified

alert('<phrase 1="$vboptions[mincharters]">$vbphrase[must_enter_subject2]</phrase>');
return false;
}
else
{
var stripped = PHP.trim(stripcode(messagetext, false, ignorequotechars));

if (stripped.length < minchars)
{
// minimum message length not met
alert(construct_phrase(vbphrase['message_too_short'], minchars));
return false;
}
else if (typeof(document.forms.vbform) != 'undefined' && typeof(document.forms.vbform.imagestamp) != 'undefined')
{
// This form has image verification enabled
document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.failed = false;

if (document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.value.length != 6)
{
alert(vbphrase['complete_image_verification']);
document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.failed = true;
document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.focus();
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
else
{
// everything seems ok
return true;
}
}
}
// -->
</script>

Basically it just removes the Chrome controls from template.
