Title: Description does not show on some audio/video posts
Post by: BuddahBoy on August 04, 2015, 09:53:21 pm
Greetings - when posting a video, audio or YouTube linked video the description does display when there is a long description, only if it is a short description does it show.  Can you please tell me where I can increase the number of characters allowed to show in a gallery description?  The description of the categories is fine, it's the description of the posted audio/video that I'd like to made longer -- much much longer   8) 8)

Thank you very much
Ron

The description field should take up to 65,000 characters of text. Is your description bigger than that?

Hi - thanks for the response. 

If I use the same text as the title that will show in the description.  But if I put a longer description it shows nothing. 

I'm need to add the following text:

Hell Hath No Fury Live - Desensitized

Hell Hath No Fury originally formed in 1998 as an all female metal lineup. It was the first and only all female metal lineup formed by and with guitarist and singer-songwriter Leah Collery. In 2010 Collery moved to Hollywood California to attend The Musician’s Institute of Technology and the lineup disbanded. Collery continued to write music for her own projects, and in 2005 she released the EP “Uprise.” Shortly after, Hell Hath No Fury reformed with new members. The female fronted, thrash metal power-trio was completed by Shawn McPherson on bass and backing vocals, and Dan Welby on drums.
 
Hell Hath No Fury offers unique thrash flavored riffs, hooks and breakdowns with a modern feel. The project is influenced by the old school popular thrash metal of the 80s in the vain of such artists as Testament, Megadeth, Metallica, Death and Pantera. Collery is the main songwriter writing all the major foundations of the music including guitar, vocals, bass and drums. The now defunct lineup toured the western half of the United States, in addition to performing many shows in the Hollywood, greater Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The former lineup officially disbanded in 2010 when Collery began her career transition into the helping profession. In 2015 all unreleased materials were published, including the music video for the single “Refuse” and a second EP, “Truth or Consequences.”

Tried only the first paragraph and still nothing shows up. 

This is the video that I'm referring to:  http://www.thelivemusicscene.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=47

Appreciate the assistance.

Thank you once again for your fab support! 

Now I have some bad news for you - I'll be getting the Store and maybe Classifieds in a couple weeks, so that means you'll be stuck with me!

Greatly appreciate your assistance
