We have upgraded the version of MySQL that we are using. A bug (or feature?) in an earlier version restricted the length of the url’s that we could handle, and for some people when bookmarking a site they would get an error. The new version of MySQL allows fields to be as long as you want them to be. We have set the new length to be 400 characters, but if this is not long enough we can make it longer. If you are having any problems with this let us know and we can now change it.

I tried to bookmark various site from isiweb and got the error that 400 characters are not enough.

Hi Felix,
Can you let me know how many characters you need?
The url is stored in a MySQL cell and we need to hard code the allowed size. We can change it, but I need to know how much more space to allow.
Cheers,
