On the suggestlink.tpl the description length is set to 100 characters if I am not mistaken and would appear to be controlled by {DESCRIPLENGTH} How do I increase or decrease the amount of characters allowed, did have a good look around but could not find {DESCRIPLENGTH} Q2. When setting up an extra text field eg. {LINKBIO} am I correct in think that I can limit the number of characters input and subsequently displayed by using ' max characters 'facility or am I also going to have to set the number of characters in the Database as well Mel

I don't think there's a native html way to limit textareas so you'd have to use a javascript hack, like the description does.
