Is there any trimming on the Private message Username window? I cant get teh length to go past 15 charcters. I have upped the trimm to 25 charcters to help the usernames beter fit my needs. So when i try to send them a private message they will never recieve it due to the Username Box only allowering 15 charcters. I have looked everywerei n the RTE_asfasdas.asp files and havent found anyhting. Only the input box and i upped that and it idd nothing. Need help desperatley.

Thanks

Greg

I have tryed to edit the several pages that could have anyhting to do with the length of the Username being 15 charters. And nothing happend.

I edited the message_forum_inc.asp file to the code listed below.

'If this is a private message display the username box
If strMode = "PM" Then
%>
    <tr>
    <td align="right" width="15%" class="text"><% = strTxtToUsername %>:</td>
    <td width="70%"><%

    'Get the users    buddy list if they have    one

    'Initlise the sql statement
    strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Author.Username "
    strSQL = strSQL    & "FROM    " & strDbTable & "Author INNER    JOIN " & strDbTable & "BuddyList ON " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID = " & strDbTable & "BuddyList.Buddy_ID "
    strSQL = strSQL    & "WHERE " & strDbTable & "BuddyList.Author_ID=" & lngLoggedInUserID &    " AND " & strDbTable & "BuddyList.Buddy_ID <> 2 "
    strSQL = strSQL    & "ORDER By " & strDbTable & "Author.Username ASC;"

    'Query the database
    rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon

    %><input type="text" name="member" size="35" maxlength="35" value="<%    = Server.HTMLEncode(strBuddyName) %>"<% If    NOT rsCommon.EOF Then Response.Write(" onChange=""document.frmAddMessage.selectMember.options[0].selected = true;""") %> />
    <a href="JavaScript:openWin('pop_up_member_search.asp','profile','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0, menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,width=440,height=255')"><img src="<% = strImagePath %>search.gif" alt="<% = strTxtMemberSearch %>"    border="0" align="absmiddle"></a>

Reason being that every file that i tried to open of go ot pointed me to this window.

It may even be the worng file. Please let me know if it is the correct file. The pm_message_post.asp file tomld me that it ise the above file.
