codes in subject, automatically...

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,

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,
