How do I change the length of the new thread box?
Open newthread template ( Home - Templates - Default Templates - New Thread Templates - newthread )
Find
<td class="trow2"><input type="text" class="textbox" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="85" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1" /></td>
Change size="40" to your needs.
It doesn't work for the Afresh Themes.
Then you didn't change the correct Template Set.
I did pick the correct template.
It would have worked if you picked the correct template... are you sure you changed the right thing??
Wait, I don't mean the name of the thread text box, I mean the section where you type what's inside the thread.
