How can i increase the Forum titles length?
 

Hello i have recently created a site with vbulletin and i would like to add a title to a Forum with 50 characters! When i am typing the text it automatically makes the title like this
"This is my beautif&#" but i have written "This is my beautiful forum!"!

How can i fix this?

the character you use is illegal, that's why it is cropped... you need to verify how you type your forumtitles...

what do you mean "illegal characters" and how can i verify the forumtitles?

Hmmm, I was just able to enter 100 characters into that field. Are you using 50 as an example or do your really mean 50? However, I may have changed my database for it, I can't remember. Unfortunately, that is the way you have to change things - the database says type varchar(100) for that field (that's what mine says, maybe yours says varchar(50)) and so you will have to actually change this field in the database. It's in the table 'forum' and the field name is 'title'

Just checked mine, and it's also set to 100. Don't think I've changed it. Then again, I've made a ton of changes over the past 8 years. LOL

Its 100 on a new default install.

Sounds like a character encoding issue

i dont mean for topic titles! I mean for forum titles(names)!

I am talking about forum titles. I said I was talking about the table "forum" and the field name "title".

You are right! With english i can type 100 chars but with greek i can type only 20! :(

I already told you what you had to do.
