Title: Subject that are "too long" get cut if they use predominately "wide" characters Post by: kopipe on December 13, 2020, 09:23:16 AM And an ampersand gets put at the end, at least in one case, perhaps pointing to an issue where HTML entities are being considered and not the actual text I entered.
I made a thread with subject 【簡単に稼げる】Google Play日本版でふしぎの国のアリス(日本語吹替版のみ!)を購入して私に送ってください。ビットコインで４千円の手数料をお支払いします in the 日本語 (Japanese) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=252.0) forum: link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5299606.msg55816520#msg55816520). It got cut down to: Quote from: Buggy actual Bitcointalk output 【簡単に稼げる】Google Play日本版でふしぎの国のアリス(日本語吹替版のみ!)を& ??? I imagine this is a known issue, but that little & scares me, makes me think XSS might be possible by someone smarter than me, if they combined this bug with other bugs I don't know about. Please look into this.

However, when using regular characters, you are not allowed to make a title longer than the allowed number of characters. I never heard about writing a long topic title, exceeding the allowed number of characters, and being cut afterwards. If others have more knowledge, I'd also like to hear more opinions.
Title: Re: Subject that are "too long" get cut if they use predominately "wide" characters Post by: AB de Royse777 on December 13, 2020, 11:16:07 AM The current character limit is 80 characters for a topic title and 84 characters for a topic reply title. In the topic reply title the additional four characters are used for "Re: " but if you want you can use this addition four character space with whatever you want.
I have tested it on this topic: https://ninjastic.space/topic/5299629 (sorry mod for this extra job, I was too curious LOL) However, in the default SMF the limit is 255 characters. Read this please: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=436723.0 Update: It seems your issue is not in character count. I checked the number of characters which is 80 for the following title: Quote 【簡単に稼げる】Google Play日本版でふしぎの国のアリス(日本語吹替版のみ!)を購入して私に送ってください。ビットコインで４千円の手数料をお支払いします But the remaining characters after the cut off is 45 characters: Quote 【簡単に稼げる】Google Play日本版でふしぎの国のアリス(日本語吹替版のみ!)を& I think when the characters are counting by the system for the local language then it's messing up with it's unicode.

Read this please: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=436723.0 I think what the OP is saying is that their title got cut to 45 characters and then places an '&' at the end. Their concern is that the '&' might have the potential to be used in a cross-site scripting attack. I'm not a code guy, so I don't know if such a threat is real or not. //EDIT: Ah, you edited. :D |
