expired ads error

[manilaboy +]

I tried to set the expired ads to be stored for 180 or 360 days but it keeps getting back to 127 days. Is this a bug?

Not a bug. Looking at the database the column type is tinyint(1) which accomidates numbders from -127 to 127 signed and 0 to 255 unsigned. Although it should probably be made clear that there is an upper limit to the value that can be entered.

Thanks Larry. Are the ads still stored to the number of days I designate or will it be automatically reset to 127 days?

I didnt look to see if it was signed or unsigned when added but if its signed then then if you use a number over 127 it will end up as 127. It wont take a value greater than that.
