Inappropriate?Hi Chris, is it your Brightkite posts or your Twitter posts that are getting truncated? Have you pinged Facebook or Twitter about it?

Inappropriate?Its actually posts by Bkite that are getting cut off here was the one that is cut off.
"So I'm using Brightkite instead of Twitter now. I really like the service. Cant wait for the Blackberry app to come out. - http://bkite..."
You can see the post at http://twitter.com/challgren/statuses... -
Inappropriate?Ah, I see. If you go under Account Settings -> Sharing you'll see customization links next to notes, photos, and checkins. Click on the one for notes and replace whatever text is there with this: $note - $link
It may be the exact same text, but still give it a shot and try posting a test note (something long enough to get truncated when shared to Twitter). Please let us know if that doesn't do the trick.

Inappropriate?Its actually just the fact the URL is added on so that gets cut off. Its nothing big just need to maybe have an option to set the max length on Brightkite to say 130 so the remaining 10 can be used for the URL.
I’m happy

Yea, it's an issue with those customized variables that's causing the link to get truncated. What it should be doing is cutting off part of the caption and posting the full link. Clearing the variables out and then retyping them has fixed the problem for some people, but we are still looking into what's causing it.
