Where can I go to change the settings so that the Hyperlink/Product Descriptions aren't truncated on the home page?

Hi Desiree,

This would require editing the source code, so we cannot provide all the specific details, but if you look in the file 'HomeCode.asp', you should see a line like the following that applies the logic to truncate the Description if it exceeds 22 characters:

if len(pDescription)>22 then

pDescription=left(pDescription,19) & "..."

If you increase the number in the second line (19), it should allow more characters to be shown before the Description is truncated.
