ABOVE THAT, ADD:

PHP Code:

$post['message'] = fetch_trimmed_title($post['message'], 100, true); 


Obviously, change 100 to however many characters you would like displayed. Also, changing true to false will remove the trailing ellipses (...) if desired.

Works great, now no longer are posts of up to 2000 or 3000 characters showing in full via this preview method.
