The good news is that the limit is not checked in the code, it's just the database complaining about receiving too much data. If you can figure out how to widen the datatype of that particular field, you should be all set. It could be as simple as executing the following SQL:
[code=sql]ALTER TABLE jforum_banner ALTER COLUMN banner_name TYPE VARCHAR(1000);[/code]

Note that for putting a message on all pages, you can also use the "Public announcement" under Admin Control Panel -> Configurations.]]> https://community.jforum.net/posts/preList/216/1056.page https://community.jforum.net/posts/preList/216/1056.page GMT
[list]The [b]Trash Can[/b] lets you designate one forum as trash can - meaning topics that get deleted are moved to it, rather than actually getting deleted from the database. If the forum is set up to be accessible by admins only, you keep deleted topics for future reference without them being publicly visible (which comes in handy on moderated forums frequently)[/list]
[list][b]Banners[/b] can be shown on assorted pages, up to 3 at the top and up to 3 at the bottom, either as plain text or with HTML, including links. That could be used for announcements, or ads.[/list]
[list]Added lots of missing translations to various languages[/list]
[list]Many improvements for the mobile view: some pages were entirely missing before, and a new dropdown menu for navigation makes it easier to get around[/list]
[list]Eight new smilies, some of them animated, like ROFL[/list]
[list]Numerous bug fixes[/list]

[list]It installs and runs on the [b]HSQLDB[/b] database.[/list]
[list]Fixes a bug that prevents the popup window showing all smilies to be shown when writing a post.[/list]

It also includes these two fixes which had been addressed in [b]JForum 2.6.1[/b]:

[list]It installs and runs on the [b]Jetty[/b] servlet container.[/list]
[list]It fixes a bug where deleting posts would cause the corresponding entry in the Moderation Log to be illegible, and break the page layout.[/list]

All users can safely upgrade, but if you aren't using Jetty or HsqlDB, or haven't run into one of the bugs, it may not be worth the effort.]]> https://community.jforum.net/posts/preList/195/856.page https://community.jforum.net/posts/preList/195/856.page GMT
