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.

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.
