Description
If your abstract is longer than 255 characters it gets cut of upon being saved to the database.
Attached is a quick fix that sets an error.
However a better way might be to introduce a setting and to change the schema - on the other hand the might as well use a page then? Maybe the cut off part could rather be added to the full announcement.

#1
How about if we just increase it to 2048 characters?
#2
Why 2048?
... and uhm there was a typo in the patch..oops.
#3
Well, the abstract is supposed to be "short." Do you not think 2048 (a nice power of 2) is long enough? I also added a note in the description that this is the limit.
