Default Small problem with newest thread hack code

I am a newbie coder and I am having a small issue with this code.

I downloaded this hack for Vbull 3.6.8

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=147344&page=4

basically it displays the latest threads on my non-forum homepage. The problem is that if the threat title is too long it will expand the box and distort my homepage. You can see it here www.forex4noobs.com I am not sure if its distorted now but the box that has the threads becomes very wide.

I was wondering if there is a way to constrain the size or limit the amount of characters it shows from the threads heading. I think it is pretty straight forward there is a HTML file in that download i assume I just edit it in dream weaver I just do not know how to code something like that.

Any ideas?

Here is the entire code I need to edit the first few lines so it limits the amount of characters it shows from the actul thread name or somehow constrain that part from widening beyond a certain point??

Code:
<fieldset>
<legend>Thread: <a href='{url}/showthread.php?t={threadid}'>{threadname}</a></legend>
<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0'>
<tr>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'><b>Thread Starter:</b></td>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'><a href='{url}/member.php?u={postuserid}'>{postusername}</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'><b>Replies:</b></td>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'>{replies}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'><b>Views:</b></td>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'>{views}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'><b>Last Post:</b></td>
<td width='1%' style='white-space:nowrap'><a href='{url}/member.php?find=lastposter&t={threadid}'>{lastposter}</a> <a href='{url}/showthread.php?t={threadid}&goto=lastpost' title='Go To Last Post'>?</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>

There is a setting in the Admin CP to limit the maximum thread titles characters.

Check under vBulletin Options, and look for "vBExternal" (I don't have this hack myself, just assuming it's there...)
