Started googling for 'post and thread tables', and number of characters in titles, but getting mostly how many characters user may put in post titles.
Not sure where to look for the 'post and thread tables' you were referring to, and would they work for the 'main page' forum title display ?
This is imposed on the database table. You need to edit the MySQL table (you probably use something like phpMyAdmin) and increase the length of the 'subject' field. Forum names are also limited to 120 characters.
Thank you for the database reference !
Sounds like something fun to do after done with day-job (nothing to do with PCs, except paying some bills
...took a quick look (scrnshot attached) and see 125 character reference, now maybe just need to figure out how to work with it ?
It is very helpful getting these little bits of info about the workings of MyBB, so at least can decide where to go from here with this learning process.
May need the additional characters to help the user audience be able to navigate the site, but on the other hand, may be able to keep it shorter.
At least you have given a choice.
Ps: Also looks like where 'templates' are stored, have been trying to figure that out too.
