One more thing:

How would I "echo" a letter (m) in the same function?
As the function recognizes m as a part of the datefunction and thus returns a value.
Thanks so far :)

Since it recognizes that letter, you'll just have to add the letter in afterwards, sorry to say. You might need two variables as a result.

Any idea how to? ;)
Sorry for keeping asking you, I appreciate your help :)

Nevermind, my mistake: just put a backslash before the "m" and it should be treated literally.

Thanks, it works like a charm :D

sorry .....I realise this hack is a bit old, but I need some help.
Is there any way where I could limit the amount of words/letters and smillies used in a shout-out ???

Unfortunately there are some people that abuse the function, and I hate to remove this wonderful hack because of those very few people.

-thanks in advance!

Actually, this hack is less than a month old. :)

Yes, you could limit the total number of characters in each shout. How many characters would you like to limit it to?

Could you just tell me/us the code so we can define the max. chars ourselves?
Thank you :)

*sigh* You can define it yourselves anyway, but I'd rather have an actual digit to stick there for now, which you can then modify at your leisure.

Whatever...I'll just wing it.

Something between 500 and 750 maybe?
