Hello, on the horizontal featured listings is there a way to limit the number of characters in the title without changing the character limit when placing an ad? I'm allowing for 75 characters when placing an ad and that's working well but they're getting cut off in the featured listing section. Or should I just make the font smaller?

change the css (height) in the custom_plugins module, shorten your titles in the admin control panel or in the instructions you will see you can truncate titles if I am not mistaken.

I did a combination of the height and truncate options. Thanks.

Quite easy when you get the hang of it. You can do some pretty amazing things with this module when you combine it with the listings filter and/or pull out categories in a dynamic manner. So few people use it to its full potential.
