When a member of the community posts a very long article anywhere: in the news http://godserver.com:7000/news/ or in the neighbor section http://godserver.com:7000/neighbor/ the preview of the post looks fine, but when the article goes live, it gets cut off.

News post is limited to 4000 characters (see /www/doc/sql/news.sql). You can fix it by changing table definition to use PostgreSQL text data type, but do you really think that news (as in brief announcements) should span over 4000 chars?
