	Hi Derek, nice mod, thanks! I just installed it, really smooth and easy to configure and it's appearing on all my threads now. The only gotcha I have found is that Twitter seems to be truncating the URL off the end. If in Firefox I right-click the Twitter icon at the end of a thread all the information is there (Subject - URL) and the URL is formatted with the correct "%20" but twitter only shows the subject for some reason. Ok, just had a brain wave before hitting "post" here... Maybe the subject + URL was too long? ...and it is! So now for a feature request, any chance of truncating the subject to the first 50-60 chars and then it will leave the URL intact. As a workaround I have put the URL before the subject in the Twitter config and it appears to be fine on the long subject posts.

Is this a normal thing for bookmarking sites to do then - limit how many characters you are allowed in the subject? Maybe if I make it an Admin option to choose how many characters you want to be displayed - what do you think?

	I think it's only Twitter that will give that grief as it has a 140 char limit. I also just noticed that Facebook grabs the forum Meta tag "Description" as well as the subject. The gotcha there is that will be the same for all posts from the forum. (I'm still testing that one) update Yep, the Facebook one does grab the forum meta tag for Description.

You'll have to let me know your findings once you've finished testing...

	Speedy! I installed it and its truncating every Twitter subject to just "..." even when there are enough of the 140 chars left over.

	Ah, I should have mentioned that you'll need to re-save the settings - you should find it's alright then...

	It's the same I'm afraid. Even tried removing v0.3 and installing it again with the same results. Still get "..." for the subject.

	You have saved the settings here (see image)? What does your Variables/BookmarkSettings.txt look like? It should look something like this: Code ############################################################################### # BookmarkSettings.txt (Social Bookmark configurations) # ############################################################################### $en_bookmarks = 1; # Enable Social Bookmarks $bm_subcut = 50; # Maximum characters in subject $bm_boards = "general\,\ test\,\ testboard"; # Select the boards which Social Bookmarks will be swown in 1;

	Derek Barnstorm wrote on Mar 7^th, 2011 at 2:19pm: What does your Variables/BookmarkSettings.txt look like? Not like yours above! So I removed the file, tried again and got the same result. Then I removed both the bookmark.txt and BookmarkSettings.txt, removed the mod, checked to make sure it was removed, added it again and BINGO, I can now see the "Maximum characters in subject:" option in the Admin Center. A save and my bookmarksettings.txt looks like yours now. I can only guess it was a board mod quirk with the remove/add of this mod. Tested as working perfectly with long subject lines in Twitter now. FYI - The Facebook quirk with it grabing the meta tag looks like a function of facebook and I agree, looks like there is little you could do about that short of writing a mod that grabs key words from a thread and injects them into the meta tags for Facebook and search engines to find... but that would be a request in a different thread. Excellent work (as always) Derek, thanks!

	Strange. Glad you got it working anyway. And thanks for the feedback and testing...

	I can only think that I didnt copy something across initially with v0.3 but I then did copy it across when I reinstalled it the second time. I would put this one down to user error and not something you or Boardmod did.
