Hi Paul,

I'm glad you figured it out fast enough, yes it's the "link" field that is set as VARCHAR type which has an overall limit of 255 characters. If you wish to have more than that available, change it to TEXT type.

Regards.

This is not sufficient for me.

Can you advise where I need to increase this in order to increase it to (say) 1000? I changed newthread_link and editpost_link, but its still not working for me.

Any chance of including support for longer URLs in a future release? With parameters and deep linking and tracking codes, the URLs I am getting from merchants are often over 250 chars?

Thanks,
Paul.


Update: I fixed this (I think!) by increasing the "link" field length in the "thread" table on top of my code changes. Seemed to have the desired effect. Still suggest inclusion in future releases - I believe since its a varchar field, it won't make any difference to folk using shorter URLs, but would support longer ones.
