Most people would probably find this useless, but I wanted to know if there were anyway to set a limit to the number of characters of the subject is displayed in the forumdisplay page. I mean I hate posts that have a huge subject that takes up 8 lines or something.
Something where after XX chars, or even XX lines, the subject is cut off and turned into "..." But when the post is read, the entire subject show's up.

Naw, crud, that didn't do it.

Maybe some kind of limitation in the SQL table itself?

Dave, install phpmyadmin in a password protected folder and use it to adjust the title length. there is a preset limit on the column of 100 characters.

You da man, Martin. Worked perfectly. THANKS.

Do you think I should adjust the subjectindex field up from 100 to 250 also, in addition to the title field? (I'm not sure what subjectindex does.)

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
