Any chance of extending the thread title to more than 100 letters?

As news reports are starting to have longer and longer article titles, the current thread title max size is no longer applicable to them. Usually, with larger articles abound, it would be easier to tell the readers a short, concise description in the thread title, in order for readers to get a sense of what the article itself is telling them about.

I would like to propose that the max size of the thread title be extended to 140 letters or 150 letters for a nicer ring to a multiple of 5. That way, a shortened phrase can then be fitted into the thread title without having the meanings jumbled up and confusing some of the readers.

Thanks in advance.

I vote for a 128 letter title to keep everything standardized.

Where was the 128-letter standard implemented in? I thought these values are just picked out by their accordances.

Why not chop of a bit of the article? Well, mostly shorter is better.

Varine, 128 is not a standard at all. That would be 7 bits, who is using 7 bits man???
Thats a horrible number!

Sorry to disappoint, but I rather go for something that's akin to Twitter's 140 characters limit.

That's because you're an unoriginal D-bag. All you do is post stuff other people already published.

I can't help but imagine you as Caboose. I mean, your avatar is blue, you are both just so dumb in an oddly enjoyable way, and are just an enigma of existence that we don't understand.

Where do you think Romek got it from? :) We all got them when SD_Ryoko redid the logo - I stole this one from Romek though...

Whenever I post a news thread that has a long title I tend to just chop up the title. No news title should be more than 100 characters.

Wing it imo!
