MyBB Community Forums

please how can i increase the length of the title of my forum's posts or the thread subject length........... thanks

I presume you mean in latest threads. In portal.php the title is truncated to 25 characters by this code:

		if(my_strlen($thread['subject']) > 25)
		{
			$thread['subject'] = my_substr($thread['subject'], 0, 25) . "...";
		}

So you can either remove that section of code and have a thread title that is not truncated, or you can increase the value of 25 to a higher value.

Lines 420 - 423.

How long do you want it to be ? i check the database now and see that the thread subject field is varchar (120)

you could edit the database field directly with phpMyAdmin.

Through your host control panel. You have to go to the database, and there will be an option to access the database via phpMyAdmin.

Once in, you find the mybb_threads table, and edit the subject field. Warning! you need to make a backup before you proceed with this.
