Found the answer.....

You can limit or increase the length of the posts title in the html output by editing

extern.php


and the lines


// The length at which topic subjects will be truncated (for HTML output)
$max_subject_length = 150;

I have increased to 150 is set at 30 by default

At the moment I am including the top five most recent forum posts on my main websites home page via

include('http://www.p11dorganiser.co.uk/p11dforum/extern.php?action=active&show=5');

however this method currently clips the length of the posts title to 21 letters is there any way of displaying the whole title via the php include method.

It would be cool if there was an action that allowed this on the url without having to mess with the core files

I would really like some advice on the day to day running of my forum now that I have succesfully installed and configured it using punbb

Am I right in thinking that there is no way of a moderator or an administrator recieving notification of a new post on the forum unless I add install a mod such as http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=512

I also noticed that this mod has only been downloaded 363 is there anyone who can advise if this works ok or is buggy etc and what happen when I need to upgrade my version of punbb will this mod still work.

I must be missing something here it seems mad that there is no automatic notification of new posts on the forum by email.

I am not expecting a massive number of posts to my forum and there will only be two moderators myself and one other.

I can understand if you are running a forum with a massive number of posts per day and then loads of emails a day being sent to the moderators becomes a problem but how many forums when they initially start recieve this kind of takeup.

As I see it at the moment in order to be notified of a new post I either check my forum every 15 min or check the RSS feed of my forum every 15 min.

Am I missing something here or is there an punbb out of box solution to this?
