Dear MyBB Team,
Is it possible to reduce Text count on the portal page ?
Look at my site : www.mydreamtech.com

when i create a new thread for showing on portal page , then it shows whole text/post same as real thread.
thats why portal page turn into very big ..
It would be great if portal page show limited word (not whole post) from the main thread . something like Blog .
Is it possible ??

I hope u understood me. looking forward for ur reply...

The quickest way to do it would be this:

Open up portal.php

Find the line:

$announcement['message'] = $posts[$announcement['tid']]['message'];

Replace with:

$announcement['message'] = substr($posts[$announcement['tid']]['message'], 0, 100);

Change the value "100" to however many characters you want to display. Bear in mind that MyCode will count towards the character count.

Thanks....
