I dont have the mod, but if you find where the topic subject is displayed and try something like
Left(RSlist("T_MESSAGE"), 50) & "...."
It should cut it and add the dots... |

I also didn't use it but used content manager mod. Better do this:
Const intMaxChars = 50
Dim strMsg
strMsg = RSlist("T_MESSAGE")
'
' it will be good to replace here unwanted formatting such as crlf + large fonts etc.
'
if len(strMsg > inMaxChars) then strMsg = Left(strMsg, 50) & "...<a href=""topic.asp?..."">read more</a>"
'response.write ChkString(strMsg,"display") <=== use this to have formatted, but you have to make sure that you truncate at a correct pos.
response.write strMsg
Worst case is a person who types a lot of linefeeds then writes... |
 Stop the WAR! |

i have a "modified" Syndication mod installed, so not sure it's helpful or not.. may u can try it~
in syndication.asp file..
find this line (about line.100)
strSubject=objRs("T_SUBJECT")
and just below this line add..
if Len(strSubject) > 20 then
strSubject = Left(strSubject,17) & "..."
end if
(change the red value to fit your need)
