75 Charecter Limit!!
Wow was I surprisd when I tried to add this link to my links database:

http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/361/oped/The_poor_favor_school_choice+.shtml

I got an error saying "75 charecter link length limit" This is a HUGE problem to me because about half my links are that ling (I am trying to create a directory of specific articles related to Education Policy, and a lot of them are articles off main pages like that one was a Boston Globe Article)

Is there any way to disable this horrible limit?

thanks,
- Geddes

Uh...Go into your links.def file and change 75 for the maximum length attribute of the URL field to something like 500.

BTW: THIS has been discussed MANY times in the Modification Forum and also in this Forum. Please use the Forum's search engine to find related topics to your problems or concerns.

Yep. In links.def:

Code:
URL => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],
Change the 75 to something longer, like 150.

Thank You. I geuss I didn't think about using the search feature, I glanced down at the subjects of all the posts in this forum though. However, thank you for the help, it will really help me.
