Feature page options

Enable featured content page - This must be selected in order for the featured content page to be active.

Maximum excerpt length - Enter the maximum number of characters that should be displayed in the excerpt for the featured item. The message will be pulled from the first thread post for threads and truncated to this length when possible. The maximum length will not apply to already featured content if the maximum excerpt length is changed or for imported values unless the Trim excerpt to maximum length option is enabled.

Trim excerpt to maximum length - If the excerpt exceeds the maximum allowed length and this option is enabled it will automatically be trimmed to that length. When enabled, this will adjust the maximum excerpt length for any existing featured content that exceeds the new maximum.
