Where do you define the max character length of your category names???? I have a category name that exceeds 40 characters and it seems to fail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Can I ask why you have such a long category name?

Your are going to have to shorten it.

I am using the category names to create a tab system that allows me to browse up and down the page by category. I was able to shorten one category name to make it work. If there is anyway I can adjust this it would help me greatly in case i run into a category name in the future I can not shorten

I *think*, if I remember right, that it is not so much based on number of characters, but rather alotted pixel space. I want to say you have 320 pixels worth of text space. 320/8=40 characters. Large or smaller font would affect this.
