Thank you...now I know a little more about VB.
And that worked perfectly.

Now to figure out why it cuts off text.

what do u mean it cuts off text?

LETTER:::

I first tried to post my red beans and rice...to no avail...
First off, when I clicked to preview...it only gave me a partial preview. I thought this was how it was supposed to look, so I clicked on submit thread and I got a message telling me that priority fields or something like that, were not filled in...and sure enough I scrolled down the page and all the other fields were blank and I had to fill them in again ( after several tries) from the preview page. Only to find out I evidently, used too many characters as certain fields just cut me off...like ingredients and description.
I tried to delete the thread....but it still shows. I would like to just delete the whole thing. What is the advantage of leaving a dead thread that you can still view even tho it has been deleted? People will just be buggin' the hell out of me for the rest of the recipe! lol!
Then I went and posted a shorter recipe...mac and cheese...I see it automatically numbers things....but not correctly...I looked at other threads and they were not numbered correctly either. The script kinda has a mind of its own. lol!

Change all refrences of varchar(250) to mediumtext in the xml file

Hey ... thanks for the reply.

It already states that...I even doubled checked it.

I don't follow you, I attached a new xml file. Uninstall the mod and then re-install it using this XML.

Ok.. done..now I get that db error that you fixed for me before.

whoops, I never updated the plugin. If you follow my instructions here; Recipe Mod. It'll be fixed .

ps. Wait for that page to load fully and it will jump down the page to the right post ;).

I get a white page

never mind...I missed a } at the end.
But it did wipe out the recipes that were already there..
Now to delete the threads and give it a test...

Thanks again.
