Hi all,
Sorry if this is a newb question. I've searched my templates and can't figure this out.
The latest post previews on my index page are centered and cut off a lot shorter than I'd like. Where do I adjust the preview text length so that the preview fills the space (see attached image)?
I'm using the Square theme if that matters.
Thanks!

To change this you've to edit the core file:
MYBB_ROOT/inc/functions_forumlist.php
Search for (
line #299)
if(my_strlen($lastpost_subject) > 25)
{
$lastpost_subject = my_substr($lastpost_subject, 0, 25)."...";
}
Replace both numbers, in this case 25, with the max count of characters (-3) you like.
Awesome, that worked, thanks.
One last thing, how do I set it to left justify?
I really appreciate your help.
I can't figure out why the last post isn't left aligned. It's left aligned in the forumbit_depth2_forum template:
<tr>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><span class="forum_status forum_{$lightbulb['folder']} ajax_mark_read" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}"></span></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$modlist}{$subforums}</div>
</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="left" style="padding-right: 20px; width: 70px;">
<i style="font-size: 14px;" class="fa fa-file-text fa-fw" title="Threads"></i> {$threads}{$unapproved['unapproved_threads']}
<br />
<i style="font-size: 14px;" class="fa fa-comments fa-fw" title="Posts"></i> {$posts}{$unapproved['unapproved_posts']}</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="left" style="width: 200px;">{$lastpost}</td>
</tr>
But as you can see in the attached image, it's not aligned to the left. A little help, please?
