limit on size of url

how can i increase the limit from 75 characters (albeit temporarily) so that I myself may add a url which exceeds that?

Also how can i reduce the 500 character description limit to about 200 (is that reasonable)?

Thanks.

Re: limit on size of url In reply to

look in links.def and change

Description => [5, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],

to

Description => [5, 'alpha', '40x3', 200, 0, '', ''],

and for the url change

URL => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],

to

URL => [2, 'alpha', 40, #, 1, 'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],

Change # to the number of characters you want the limit to be...
