File functions_newpost.php FIND


// check max length
if (($postlength = vbstrlen($post['message'])) > $vboptions['postmaxchars'] AND $vboptions['postmaxchars'] != 0)


REPLACE that with

// check max length
if (($postlength = vbstrlen($post['message'])) > $vboptions['postmaxchars'] AND $vboptions['postmaxchars'] != 0 AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6))


This assumes that all your admins are in Usergroup ID 6. If this is not the case you could use

// check max length
require_once('./includes/adminfunctions.php)';
if (($postlength = vbstrlen($post['message'])) > $vboptions['postmaxchars'] AND $vboptions['postmaxchars'] != 0 AND !can_administer())


But this adds a bit more overhead.

How would you do this to exclude Admins from the minimum characters to post?

The same way ;)
Just a few lines below there is an if which checks for the minimum length - change it the same way as for maximum.

I tried that and it didn't work. ;)

Hmm ... does work for me.
The only problem might be JavaScript.
