vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Putting more characters at the forum description field...?

stark427 · #1 11-29-2002, 10:29 PM

Hello there...

In my board I have several subforums.
Now, what I wanna do is that i want to be able to put more characters (than the number that is allowed now) into the description field of the forums...

Why do I need this?

as you see in the screenshot - I want to be able to put, in the forumhome page, links that will directly lead to the subforums...

problem is that the html code

Code:

<a href="http://www.synthpopavenue.gr/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=40">Modemen on the road</a>

takes it self a lot of characters. That leaves me with a very few left characters to use for the description... of the forum and the subfolders.

Moreover at the The Synthpop and Wave Avenue
I have 7 subforums... If I try to make them links.... I can't

So I need to find a way of increasing the allowed number of characters we can use for the description of a forum.

I hope Its clear what I'm asking for, and sorry if there is already a hack for this but I haven't found it even though I have searched...

thanx in advance
