It requires database editing, which could possibly hinder you chances of a smooth upgrade to vB3 if you decide to ever do so.

Unfortunately, no, I cannot, I'm not fluent in MySQL. Sorry.

Are you saying when you try to make a forum title it won't let you due to x amount of chars?

Yes, the default is 100. Look inside the install.php of any 2.x version and you'll see.

Actually its pretty simple.

IF you have phpmyadmin -

Login to phpmyadmin and select the database in the left hand nav bar.
Scroll down and select forum.

In the main menu you'll see a bunch of columns hit the little pencil and paper icon across from title

Change length/values to whatever number you need and hit save.

This will alter to allow for longer titles - there are some images of my phpmyadmin of what to do (its crude due to i just wipped those up)

Please be aware this is written just off the top of my head if any errors happen I am NOT at fault :p Just post a reply and I'll see what I can do
