It's not a good idea to overwrite an options variable.

I agree with you as a principal but my code is ok here because as you can see, it is just inserted right before "dooutput" function which terminates the script when it runs. In other words overwriting a system variable can not make any harm here as the script ends right after it anyway..

still causes me to get an JavaScript error box when I click SUBMIT if the text is over 1,000 characters.

yeah sorry wrong template name.. my code edited, plz apply again..

Is this is a bug, then it probably does the same thing in the newthread, newreply and editpost, right? Same fix for that?

Right but var name different for regular posts which is "$postmaxchars".

Would you need to add the code for the priv_forwardmultiple and priv_sendtobuddies, too?

[Logician]

right Bob

I just wanted to make sure.

What is a good length to allow for private messages as well as non-private messages?

That did the trick, thanks VERY much!

... now if only I coudl figure out how to get the php code for the inclusion of my phpads, I'd be out of questions!

Try putting it before this:

PHP Code:

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("priv_sendprivmsg")."\");");

I thought of that, too, but what if you want to use that variable in a template?

You may use up to $pmmaxchars characters in this message.

Just saying.

That is used in the template to check the length of the message. Couldn't you just make that a global variable and that would take care of using it in another template?
