Jim,

I checked the Dealer Listings, and looked at both the database tables from the old server and the new, and they match. The "very old" Dealers modules had a limit on the amount of the characters that the database would save in one field. So even though you could have type pages and pages of text into the form, the database table would only store the first 255 characters. This was one reason why I rewrote the Dealer module 2 months ago. When the new Dealer Module went up, I imported that old data into it, so those trucated entries came with it. So this problem was actually there from the start. But any new info added the to dealers will allow you to insert "War and Peace" into the descriptions and wont exibit the same problems. So this issue was not caused by the move to the new server.


I wondered if the dealer descriptions were that way before or not. Thanks for checking. Just a thought for the future; will there ever be an opportunity to post images of dealer specific items such as the Earle C. Anthony brass service your car at ####### miles, or dealer license plate frames and so on? This would be a neat edition to the dealer directory.
