When adding large articles they end up getting chopped, how do I increase word count?

How many characters is it allowing? You can see this in any good text editor like notepad++. TP's current table should allow over a million characters which I believe is a field type text in the database. If your upgrade didn't go properly you still might be on the old version of the table that only allowed about 65K of text.

40,646 according to notepad ++

I hate to go off topic but I have to ask how did you manage to make your forums quite popular. I see you have a reasonable amount of users online. Some tips on how you did this would be real nice

Quite simple, provide something which is required, be friendly and kick out any idiots that appear as soon as possible.

You're going to have to look at the smf_tp_articles table in your database. Look at the body row of that table and see what the column "type" is. If it is text, edit the row and change it to longtext.

That did it IchBin, http://www.tropicalfishforums.co.uk/index.php?page=diyco2

One more problem.
I would like to change the order of the articles in the Article Block, I have saved it time and time again but no go.

[IchBin]

What type of article block?

[clothahump]

Articles in a category.

In TPortal.php find this line on about #2149

Code Select Expand

AND art.approved=1", __FILE__, __LINE__);


Change to this:

Code Select Expand

AND art.approved=1 ORDER BY art.date", __FILE__, __LINE__);


That will order them by date.
