Lenghty Thread Titles

It seems like a trend is developing to put most of your question in the title.  Feedback forum is an example, and photoshop fourm is getting more posts that way.  It results in fewer posts per page.  This would be less of a problem if the subject column size was larger (like how many times has that been asked for).

Perhaps the title block should be limited to a certain number of characters if the page window can't be expanded.

    Curt,

    We see this in the various Premiere fora, as well. It has not reached epidemic proportions yet, but there seem more every month. I see it in new posters, who just do not yet understand the problems. For the Premiere fora, I have a "tips & tricks" article on how to post, and the title aspect is included. Unfortunately, posting a link to it is too little, too late, but should help those posters next time.

    I think that a limit on the characters would be good, so long as it allows for titles like, "[CS3] Problems with Audio in Timeline."

    Hey guys, I believe there is a character limit on thread titles.  Phos tested it early in the implementation of this new format, but I don't recall how many characters it is.

    There could well be a limit, but I'd say that it was too large. I've seen several threads, where the title was about six full lines. In two, I actually had to truncate that original title in my reply, as it would not post otherwise. Obviously, those limits were being imposed on my reply, but had not been applied to the OP - different limits?
