When data is read into the ASP application from form input it is cut down so only the correct amount of data can be passed.

Have a look in post_message.asp at line 149 you will find:-

strSubject = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("subject"), 1, 41))

The part in red will also need to be changed to the maximum field size of the forms input box.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Just to be sure that I understand, I have to make the change 3 places

1) in the form field (in the rte and regular pages)

2) in the design of the table on the sql server

3) somewhere else... this trim size you mentioned... Not sure what or where that is. 

Or is #3 = to #1?

Thanks,

The code changes are put in by the security filters to preventmalicious code being run in the forum. It prevents things like XSShacking etc.

If you make your subject longer make sure you also increase the fieldsize in the database and increase the trim size when the form field isread into the ASP application.

I was looking into increasing the allowed length of the subjects in my forum and saw this in the database (spaces added so it would show up in your browser):

Reset network c& # 111 ;nfig in WinXp...

I see that in the message_form_inc.asp and rte_message_form_inc.asp the max length of the field is 41, but in the database it is 70.  I'm guessing that the database field is bigger to make room for these code replacements and I'm also guessing that this all has something to do with internationalization.... anyway, I'm just trying to find out if there would be a problem increasing these lengths to accomodate longer subjects.

Thanks,
