   Is it possible to extend the number of characters allowed in a title? Some of my post titles are getting cut off mid-sentence like at
   http://www.businesscomputingworld.co.uk/newswire/topic.php?id=222

   Thanks greatly!

   The topic title is varchar(100) in the database. You have 80 characters displayed there. The four fancy quotes got encoded and took up 6 characters a piece in the database, which is why you have just 80 characters there (I THINK.)

   One other problem is the maxlength for the topic title in the new topic form is 80, so you could only type 80 characters in there too.

   None of that solves your problem, but it does identify a couple of the limitations.

   I used your code Starship Trooper, but the heading still isn't increased. I edited the Topic.php file. Do I need to edit more?
