Limiting thread title length

[Phillip Chapman]

I'm running vB 3.01 and need to limit the number of characters that can appear in a thread title. What are the steps to doing this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to edit the templates. Go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> New Posting Templates -> newthread

Find this code and change the red code:

			<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="[color=red]85[/color]" tabindex="1" /></td>

Make a similar change to the newreply and editpost templates.

Does the above hold true for 3.6.1 as well - if not, what are the equivalent changes needed to shorten the maximum length of the thread title?

Thanks.
