I think the closest thing that is available at the moment is this

Try this modification

In newreply.php, find:

	// Set the thread data that came from the input to the $thread array.

Above it, add:

if(empty($mybb->input['subject']))
{
$mybb->input['subject'] = substr($mybb->input['message'], 0, 30);
$mybb->input['subject'] .= (strlen($mybb->input['message']) > 30) ? '...' : '';
}

I'm sorry, I do not see that comment in newreply.php. The closest I see is // Set the post data that came from the input to the $post array.

I meant newthread.php, please smack me.

thank you very very much

How would I change the default length of the subject so that I can add more chars using this code?

Change the two instances of the number 30 in the code modification

Change the two instances of the number 30 in the code modification

right, I get that, but if I change them to a number, say 200, then 200 char's do not get displayed so there must be a limit set somewhere else
thanks

thnks........

There's a hard limit to the length a subject can be (by default): 120 characters. If you want longer ones, you will need to run an SQL query

run this SQL code in phpMyAdmin?

ALTER TABLE `swcforums_threads` CHANGE `subject` `subject` VARCHAR( 120 ) NOT NULL
