Guest Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Yes that Right! It's deceptive. :ohnoes: It's just a minor thing but when you post a title it allows for 3 more letters than what is actually shown on the topic in the forum. So it cuts the 3 letters (or symbols) off after you have posted the topic. I noticed this a couple of times now, just recently when I posted a topic in Off Topic and had of my final word was chopped off. So if you got some spare time on your hands (Albosky and others) could you fix this problem. And even, if possible allow for a slightly larger word limit on topic titles.

Dragontotem Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Lol, yea, iv noticed this too, and its pretty annoying, when your few letters gets owned by topic letter count, or whatever it is. :?

Albosky Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The problem doesn't technically exist , the text field where you enter the topic title and the database column that stores the information is set to 60 characters. The problem with the topic you are referring to was the Ampersand in the title ( & ) This character is converted to the html safe equivalent when storing it as to not disrupt drawing the page & As you can see , its 4 characters longer then the actual symbol itself, so therefore it cuts off the last few characters of your title.

Guest Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Oh ok. I understand now. Any chance that you could possible extend the topic title limit by 10 characters or so...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 At least in the database anyways; to give a bit of slack for html encoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Why do you need such a long topic title anyway? It tends to mess up the spacing when its at max length. Summarise!

Allow for two lined topics titles or just when its longer make it automatically go to a smaller font size. And I don't want to summarize in some cases.

Albosky Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've altered the database column to 70 characters to allow for changes made to topic titles by the scripts. In order to make the change completely to 70 characters , I would need to edit all the templates and im on my way out the door. If it still warrants it even with the current change, I'll look into it later on.
