In the forum homepage, the subject/ topic length in the last post coloumn is always shorten.

How can I increase the character length.

Sources/BoardIndex.php

Code Select Expand

// Prepare the subject, and make sure it's not too long.
censorText($row_board['subject']);
$row_board['short_subject'] = shorten_subject($row_board['subject'], 24);
The '24' controls the length of the displayed subject title.  Adjust accordingly.

You're most welcome.  At least some people say thanks, but I'm sure that's the 'nature of the beast'

I guess test in red is not a standard php function, pls in which of the files is shorten_subject() function is defined.

I think you'll find it in sources/Subs.php

Can we shorten this on the "Recent Post" section in the Info Center ?

It's pushing the time posted out of view on long subjects.
