any one help me from which file i can edit these settings

I don't know of a way you can set the description length in default vbulletin - it looks like it takes the first 500 characters of the first post to use as the description. What did you want to change it to? You'll probably have to modify the files.

many sites are using the title and the category name in description like vbulletindotorg watch in ur page source plz tell me the procedure to change this or modify these settings

or want to edit these settings upto 200 characters

[Lynne]

I think it may be set in showthread.php around like 349. Change 500 to 200.

$thread['meta_description'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title($thread['meta_description'], 500, false)));

[Lynne]

Modify that line of code to put those things in there.

what is proper encoding to edit application/x-httpd-php file???

[Lynne]

You should only use a plain text editor to edit any files and make sure the encoding you choose to save it in does NOT say "with BOM"!

You need to write a php function to limit number of words on page on content.
