Hi Guys,

First of all this is my first post, but I have followed the rules and searched and have no found anything in regards to my post. I have also check the smartytest and everything is fine.

The URL is http://www.feedthebull.com
The Template is obviously mollio-beat
Version is the newest nightly build 278 with some custom configs carried over from the 262 version I customized.

The issue is in the Summary portion of the admin panel you can configure the lenght of the summary, and even if this is changed it doesn't take effect. Just to verify I touched the config, config2 files and it made no difference. The summary stays at a lenght of 150 characters.

Second, I like the idea of the intergrated Google adwords, although everyones site is so custom that everyone may or may not want them in the same place. I have implemented google adwords in one form, only on the front page, and then on the story pages. I plan to do the search pages next. if people want help implementing then I would be happy to help, or at least give me code so that they can see how its done.

Third, implementing a logo is easy if you search the forum, but it would be nice to see this as part of the configuration, maybe even the option to resize in the configuration if using a vector logo.

Fourth, FeedTheBull.com home » Technology » Texas Instruments Raises Payout or the thread summary at the top of the page. If you implement a change of the title of the page from pligg.com to feedthebull.com as in my example there is a space missing after the name by default. Instead of a code change, I changed the name to have a space after the feedthebull.com which works just fine. Just thought you may want to know.

Fifth, I see the same issue with the "voted" issue as described/reported yesterday. I won't comment on that.

You guys are doing an awesome job, the templates is a tough one to handle. The adoption rate of Pligg is increasing, you can tell by the forums. So templates will come in time. Good work!

That summary bug seems to be pretty serious. I'll make note of it in on Sourceforge in our bug list.

Just talked to Ash and found out that you can only change that number up to 255 because the input in the database only holds 255 characters in that input. We will make a note in the admin config in future releases about this limit.

250 work, it doesn't add the ... at the end of the story still though. Maybe it would be good to have it say
