hmm still didn't work still only letting me use 80 characters
There's a limit on the length due to the database field type/length used. There is no way in the core to change this.
So from Euan T., I believe you can only lower the subject characters limit but not go beyond 80.

Technically one could go to PHPMyAdmin and change the field type. They would also need to do template edits and change this section of the /inc/datahandlers/post.php
if(my_strlen($subject) > 85)
		{
			// Subject is too long
			$this->set_error('subject_too_long', my_strlen($subject));
			return false;
		}
Yes, that is entirely true. We don't normally recommend core edits unless the user knows what they are doing though Wink
For me this works also without changing nothing on phpmyadmin, it's normal? Or i must to restore back?
