How Do I Extend Thread Title Limit Past 60

[preacher777]

I know this has probably been asked a million times and I apologies for asking again, although searching this board I can't find the specific fix, if there is one.

But I'd like to know if it's possible to extend the thread title limit past 60.

Thanks.

This is the limit set by ProBoards, through their back-end. It's not possible to increase it.

Hmmm... that's odd.

preacher777 Is it? Character limits are fairly standard.

Hmmm... I wasn't aware of that. But 60 characters seems slightly confining. Just my opinion. There's a mile long title window and then it's restricted to a small amount of characters. I don't understand why. It would be nice to have an option to increase it.

Yeah I'm not really a "preacher." I was nick named that because of the old period outfit I used to dress up in when I visited Virginia City, NV, when I lived in Reno. Apparently people thought I resembled Clint Eastwood's character, "Preacher," in his movie, Pale Rider.

It is possible with the use of a key..

I stand corrected. Did not expect that a key could be used to do that.

Thank you, Todge. I appreciate it. 

While I have you here, another quick question... how can I merge different threads into one?

Aaaahh... disregard... figured it out.

[Todge]

No worries..

First, download and save the file on your computer where it's easy to find, like the desktop.

Then, while on your forum, go to your Admin Panel >> Plugins >> Manage and 'Import Plugin'.

Click on 'Choose Plugin File', a window will open up. Find and Open the saved file.

Once you have done that, just set-up and activate it like any other plugin.
