I beliueve i havent seen this yet. would it be hard to do>

File functions_newpost.php FIND

PHP Code:

        // check max length
        if (($postlength = vbstrlen($post['message'])) > $vboptions['postmaxchars'] AND $vboptions['postmaxchars'] != 0) 


REPLACE that with

PHP Code:

        // check max length
        if (($postlength = vbstrlen($post['message'])) > $vboptions['postmaxchars'] AND $vboptions['postmaxchars'] != 0 AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)) 


This assumes that all your admins are in Usergroup ID 6. If this is not the case you could use

PHP Code:

        // check max length
        require_once('./includes/adminfunctions.php)';
        if (($postlength = vbstrlen($post['message'])) > $vboptions['postmaxchars'] AND $vboptions['postmaxchars'] != 0 AND !can_administer()) 


But this adds a bit more overhead.

How would you do this to exclude Admins from the minimum characters to post?

[Andreas]

The same way
Just a few lines below there is an if which checks for the minimum length - change it the same way as for maximum.

I tried that and it didn't work.

Hmm ... does work for me.
The only problem might be JavaScript.
