How to make topic titles longer ?

[master412160]

I want to know where the max chars are for the topic title length en the subject length.

Thanks you if you can tell me which file and what line I have to search for.

In your ACP somewhere I suppose.
Thats where I extended the character limit on my forum. 😛

He is using phpBB, I would think it would be defined in an includes file in the /includes/ folder but I'm not sure which one. To be honest though I'm not sure why you'd need to increase it, the phpBB one is fairly big enough.

$subject = truncate_string($subject);

I can find it. Search for this line

// To achieve this without cutting off between special chars we convert to an array and then count the elements.

The line you want to find should be straight after this line.

Ensure you have an unedited version of the files you are editing before you start editing them incase something goes wrong.
