That's probably because MyBB may be adding comment tags itself, effectively 'truncating' yours.

They are PHP variables. The only source is to dig through the PHP files.
Although, a lot of the time, they are just pulled templates - you'll need to use your intuition here.
Also viewing the source of the page helps as it'll show which template stuff is being pulled from.
Thank you.
At least now I know what they are called, and will do some more looking through the files to find what they look like.
Btw, the only way I have been able to do any searching for 'characters' in files is to download the files from the server to my PC and use Wdos Search... is there possibly a better way to do such searching ?
FileZilla only searches for words in titles.
It also appears {$extra_threadfields} is the 'variable' for the Xthread added textboxes (at least when it is deleted, they go away, where is that variable located ?
Thanks again.
Ps: Next challenge is going to be how to add drop-down lists in the textboxes. Any easy way/source for how to do that ?
