Awesome job, Extreme Tim. I'll definitely install. Keep up the good work.

Im planning to release my currency hack that i did for my site soon and possible a few other code changes.

What is the character limit on the thread description? And how can you add a bigger character limit to it?

Its 85 right now. You can change the limit in the html for newthread up to 125 after that you must change the varchar field in the database to allow more.

I apologize asking a stupid question, but can this query be ran simply by Import & Maintenance>Execute SQL Query, and adding it to the second window under manual query? (under VB3)? Thanks.

Yes it can.

Thank you.

Any way to add this to the editpost so we can add thread descriptions to threads that are already there?

It's DHTML ow just JavaScript or just alt?
