Topic: Cannot reach the limit of 70 characters of topic length.

Hi, there!

I've installed punbb 1.2.17. I get the following error while posting a new topic.
"Subjects cannot be longer than 70 characters."

Actually only 35 characters can be entered.

I guess this is due to utf-8 characters that I enter being 2-bytes long each.
My problem is similar to the one described in http://www.punbb-hosting.com/forums/sup … php?id=244
However, this should have been fixed in 1.2.17, moreover no such issue appears in http://www.punbb-hosting.com (I tested there)

I am new to php and punbb and I'm confused. Please, help!

Niki

The issues probably don't exist because of the tweaks I've made to that site to support UTF-8 with 1.2. The issue wouldn't be fixed in 1.2.17, since 1.2 does not have UTF-8 support built in. 1.3, the version currently under development, does.

I really love the idea behind Punbb but unicode support is crucial to me. I hope we'll have 1.3 very soon.

Well, feel free to test out 1.3 and let us know if you run into any trouble with the UTF-8 support smile
