Input fields in templates are big enough (80 chars), but you can edit them.

just install product . make database backup . run sql query by mysql client (phpmyadmin or other). text located in message above (alter table)

Okay, my skills don't extend to following any of the above directions, so I just let it go - but at this point it would be really really convenient to have more than 16 characters, since I use this for a lot of games. So if someone could tell me where I find the table that needs to be altered, I would appreciate it. And, I'll give it a try.

(I can't run sql queries, I have to ask my host to run them since so many people evidently accidentally deleted their boards or something by messing with it themselvse.)
