Subject: Re: string length limit in url tag 
Several strings in ELOG are limited to 256 chars. It is likely the limit for URLs, too.
The magic number "256" appears 285 times in the elogd.c file.
It is probaly easier if you compress long URLs with goo.gl
Cheers, Andreas

What is the string length limit in url tag and how to increase it?

For example,

[url=http://example.com?<text_string>]click here[/url]

When I provide very long <text_string>, it was truncated and showed partial link only.
