Subject line character limit
22 August 2005, 16:53


I'm trying to set up a FAQ section on our snitz bbs. The limit on characters in the subject line makes it tough to get some of the questions listed. Is there a way to increase the number of characters allowed in the Subject line?
Thanks in advance.<

On line 768 of post.asp, find the following:
Code:
"                <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><input maxLength=""50"" name=""Subject"" value=""" & Trim(ChkString(TxtSub,"edit")) & """ size=""40""></td>" & vbNewLine & _
And change the 50 to any value you wish up to 100, if you want to go higher than that, you're going to have to edit some tables in the database to allow for a longer subject.

BNaumer, there's also one line to adjust in post_info.asp ;
Code:
if Len(Request.Form("Subject")) > 50 then
should be changed to
Code:
if Len(Request.Form("Subject")) > 100 then
